Mr.B.S.Chahal, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. In view of the nature of the order which I propose to pass, there is no necessity to seek any counter-reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioners are working as Masters/Mistresses in the Education Department, Government of Punjab. They seek a direction to consider them for promotion as Lecturers (School Cadre) in terms of the revised Government Instructions dated 21.8.2009 (Annexure P-2) read C.W.P.No .10395 of 2010 2 with order dated 26.8.2009 passed by this Court in Civil Writ Petition No.11574 of 2009 (Sukhdev Singh and others versus State of Punjab and others). The petitioners' case is that they were denied the due promotion for want of 50% positive results and since the said condition has now been relaxed by the Government of Punjab vide the revised Instructions dated 21.8.2009 (Annexure P-2), their claim deserves to be re- considered. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioners in the light of the revised Government Instructions dated 21.8.2009 and in case it is accepted, they be promoted with effect from the date of promotions of their juniors with all consequential benefits. Needful shall be done within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Disposed of. Dasti. May 28, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
