(Oral) Prayer herein is to promote the petitioners to the post of Lab. Assistant and subsequently Junior Engineers with effect from the date the persons junior to the petitioners were promoted. Contends that all the ACRs of the petitioners are good. No charge sheet has been served to the petitioners and they have never been punished. Therefore, the petitioners are entitled for promotion to the post of Lab. Assistant and subsequently Junior Engineers with the effect from the date their juniors were promoted as such. Relies on the judgement rendered by this Court in the case of Balbir Singh v. State of Haryana and others (CWP No. 570 of 2009 decided CWP No. 17953 of 2011 2 on 07.07.2010). The petitioners have also filed their representations dated 21.03.2011 (P4 and P5) praying that they should be promoted on the said posts with the effect from the date their juniors were promoted. Thereafter, a legal notice dated 04.08.2011 (P6) was also sent. But till date, no decision has been taken thereon by the respondents. In view of the above, the present writ petition is disposed of with direction to the competent authority to take a final decision on the aforesaid representations as well as the legal notice within a period of three months from the date of receipt of the certified copy of this order. However, it goes without saying that if the claim of the petitioners are to be rejected, speaking order shall be passed. (Nirmaljit Kaur) Judge 23.09.2011 mohan
