Ashwani Kumar Mahajan .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Sushil Saini, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 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 petitioner is working as a Junior Engineer in the Department of Irrigation Works, Government of Punjab. He is aggrieved at the order dated 17.3.2010 (Annexure P-11) whereby he has been placed under suspension on the ground that he has not handed-over the charge of LPG distribution to Shri Mangat Ram, J.E. During the course of hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has already made a representation against his suspension, explaining that the allegations, are wholly unfounded. Somewhat similar plea has been taken by the petitioner in this writ petition also. In these circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this C.W.P.No .8163 of 2010 2 writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider the representation already made by the petitioner and/or the supplementary representation which the petitioner may submit within a period of two weeks, and if the explanation given by the petitioner is found to be satisfactory, to rein-state him in service. Suffice it to observe that respondent No.2 may consider the desirability of re-instating the petitioner in service without prejudice to the enquiry that may be held in respect of the allegations levelled against him. The appropriate orders shall be passed by the respondents within a period of one month from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
