Ms.Charu Tuli, Senior DAG, Punjab. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) Notice of motion. Ms.Charu Tuli, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. In view of the nature of the order which I propose to pass, there is no necessity to file any counter reply on behalf of the respondents at this stage. The petitioner seeks a direction to consider his claim for promotion to the post of Lecturer (School Cadre) in terms of the revised Government Instructions dated 21.8.2009 (Annexure P-2) read with order dated 26.8.2009 passed by this Court in Civil Writ Petition No.11574 of C.W.P.No .2288 of 2010 2 2009 (Sukhdev Singh and others versus State of Punjab and others). The petitioner's case is that he has been denied promotion for want of 50% positive results and since the said condition has now been relaxed by the Government of Punjab vide its revised Instructions dated 21.8.2009 (Annexure P-2), his claim deserves to be re-considered. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner in terms of the revised Government Instructions dated 21.8.2009 (Annexure P-2) and in case it finds favour, let he be promoted from the date his juniors were promoted with all consequential benefits except the arrears of pay. The needful shall be done within a period of 4 months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Disposed of. Dasti. April 19, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
