Raj Kumar and others .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Jatin Salwan, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 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) The petitioners who belong to the Backward Class Category, seek a mandamus to direct the respondent-authorities to grant them the same concession as has been granted to various reserved categories vide public notice (Annexure P-2). In my considered view, no such writ can be issued by this Court in exercise of powers under Article 226 of the Constitution. The grant of concession to the persons belonging to different reserved categories is a matter of policy to be taken by the competent authority/Executives in accordance with the State Policy. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to pursue their CWP No.15694 of 2011 [2] representation dated 2.8.2011 (Annexure P-4) said to have been made to the respondents. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. August 25, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
