CWP No. 20675 of 2006 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 20675 of 2006 Date of Decision: May 18, 2009 Mohinder Singh Inspector ...... Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and others ...... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr. Ashish Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Birender Singh Rana, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. **** 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? Ajay Tewari, J. The petitioner has inter alia challenged the order Annexure P-6 dated 27.10.2006 whereby the benefits granted to him viz. crossing of efficiency bar w.e.f. 1.7.92, promotion as Sub Inspector w.e.f. 12.11.93, promotion as Inspector w.e.f. 9.3.2001 etc. have been ordered to be withdrawn and petitioner has been reverted to the post of Assistant Sub Inspector from that of Inspector after a period of 14 years. As a matter of fact the petitioner had filed response(s) to the show cause notice(s). In all these responses even while asking for the CWP No. 20675 of 2006 2 documents the petitioner has also given his response on merits. Learned counsel for the petitioner has asserted that in view of the responses on merits the finding that no reply has been filed and it would be presumed that the petitioner has nothing to say is clearly wrong. Learned counsel for the respondents is not in a position to deny this factual aspect. In the circumstances in my opinion it would be in the interest of justice if the impugned order is set aside while granting liberty to the respondent No. 2 to pass a speaking order after considering the reply/ies filed by the petitioner. Disposed off. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE May 18, 2009 sunita
