Lakhvir Singh and others .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Rajesh Kumar Girdhar, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 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 petitioners applied for the posts of Post Graduate Teachers advertised by respondent No.2 in December, 2009 (Annexure P1). They appeared in the written test conducted in March, 2010 and are said to have qualified the same with high rankings. It is averred that while counseling for several other teaching posts advertised vide the same advertisement have been held but no steps have been taken to conduct the counseling for the posts of Post Graduate Teachers. The petitioners are said to have served the respondents with a legal notice dated 27.11.2010 (Annexure P-2) in this regard but all in vain. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, C.W.P.No .1278 of 2011 2 without expressing any views on their right to seek counseling, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to take an appropriate decision as may be warranted in the light of the facts and circumstances of the case, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. January 24, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
