Paramjit Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.S.K.Sharma, 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 was appointed as an Executive Clerk on compassionate grounds by the Director General of Police, Punjab, vide memo dated 7.7.1992 (Annexure P-1). The petitioner's name was, however, removed from the Executive Clerical Cadre by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Border Range, Amritsar, on 27.7.1999 but on a representation made by him, the said order was set-aside by the Director General of Police, Punjab. The name of the petitioner has been again removed from the Executive Clerical Cadre by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Border Range, Amritsar vide the impugned order dated 18.1.2010 (Annexure P-14) on the ground that he has failed to pass the type test held C.W.P.No .8019 of 2010 2 in terms of the standing order No.2 of 2002. The petitioner's contention is that the said standing order is not applicable in the case of those members of the Executive Cadre who were appointed prior to issuance of that standing order. Taking this plea as well as questioning the competence of the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Border Range, Amritsar to pass the impugned order, the petitioner has submitted a departmental appeal on 9.2.2010 (Annexure P-15) and has thereafter, served the respondents with the Justice Demand Notice dated 3.4.2010 (Annexure P-17) also. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the fact that the petitioner's appeal-cum-representation/Justice Demand Notice is pending consideration before the superior authorities, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Director General of Police, Punjab, to take cognizance of the petitioner's appeal-cum-representation/Justice Demand Notice and dispose of the same in accordance with law, as early as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Till then, the operation of the impugned order dated 18.1.2010 (Annexure P14) shall remain stayed and the petitioner shall be allowed to continue on the Executive Clerical Cadre. Ordered accordingly.
