IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.1231 of 2011 Date of Decision : January 21, 2011. Anoop Singh .....Petitioner versus Punjab State Power Corporation Limited and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.J.S.Jaidka, 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 grievance of the petitioner is that as per his placement in the seniority list of the Revenue Accountants, he is entitled to be promoted as Revenue Superintendent as his juniors have already been promoted, nevertheless his preferential claim has been over-looked/ignored for vague and evasive reasons in as much as the promotion order dated 30.9.2009 (Annexure P-2) suggests that the petitioner has been “ignored or deferred”. Obviously, the petitioner is not aware whether he was found ineligible/unsuitable and then ignored or his claim has been deferred for some valid reason. Unfortunately, the correct reasons have not been conveyed to the petitioner despite his representation dated 30.8.2010 (Annexure P-3). C.W.P.No .1231 of 2011 2 The writ petition in these circumstances is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner for promotion, if already not considered, from the date when his juniors have been promoted and if he is found eligible and suitable, to promote him with all consequential benefits. However, if the petitioner is found unsuitable/ineligible for promotion, the reasons for arriving at such a conclusion shall be conveyed to him by the respondents within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order.
