Civil Writ Petition No. 10048 of 2011 -1- IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 10048 of 2011 Date of Decision : 1.6.2011 Ram Avtar Sharma .......... Petitioner Versus The State of Punjab & others ...... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH Present : Mr. B.M. Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. **** AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL) The primary prayer of the petitioner in the present writ petition is that the Senior Scale and Selection Grade, which was granted to the petitioner initially and has now been postponed, cannot be so done in the light of the fact that the ground on the basis of which he was initially granted the Senior Scale and the Selection Grade on attaining the Ph.D. Degree gives no reason for the respondents to postpone the initial grant of Senior Scale and the Selection Grade. Counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner has put forth his claim through a legal notice dated 9.4.2011 (Annexure P-10) served on the Managing Committee, DAV College, Jalandhar City-respondent No.4 but till date no decision thereon has been taken or conveyed to the petitioner. He states that petitioner at this stage would be satisfied if the said Civil Writ Petition No. 10048 of 2011 -2- legal notice dated 9.4.2011 (Annexure P-10) is considered and a decision taken thereon by the Managing Committee, DAV College, Jalandhar City- respondent No.4 within some specified time. If that be so, without going into the merits of the case or commenting thereon, the present writ petition is disposed of with directions to the Managing Committee, DAV College, Jalandhar City-respondent No.4 to consider and take a decision on the legal notice 9.4.2011 (Annexure P- 10) within a period of two months from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. The decision, so taken, be conveyed to the petitioner forthwith. In case the petitioner's claim as made in the legal notice dated 9.4.2011 (Annexure P-10) is accepted the consequential benefits be released to the petitioners within a period of two months thereafter. 1.6.2011 (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH) 'sp' JUDGE
