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 case for promotion as Lecturer-in-Chemistry (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 .9781 of 2010 2 2009 (Sukhdev Singh and others versus State of Punjab and others). The petitioner's' case is that he has been deprived of the promotion for want of 50% positive results and since the said condition has now been relaxed by the Government of Punjab vide the revised Instructions dated 21.8.2009 (Annexure P-2), his claim deserves to be 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 and if it finds favour to promote him with effect from the date his juniors were promoted with all consequential benefits. Needful shall be done within a period of 4 months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Dasti. May 25, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
