IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.10415 of 2010 Date of Decision : May 28, 2010. Khushpreet Kaur and another .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.S.K.Sharma Budhladawale, 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 belong to the reserved category of Scheduled Caste (Ramdasia and others). They competed for the posts of S.S. Mistresses advertised vide advertisement dated 29.8.2007 (Annexure P-11) vide which 50 posts were reserved for Scheduled Caste (Balmiki-Majbi) and 50 for Scheduled Caste (Ramdasia and others). The petitioners have now approached this Court with the allegation that the candidates lower in merit from both the sub-categories, namely, Scheduled Caste (Balmiki- Majbi) and Scheduled Caste (Ramdasia and others) have been given appointment ignoring the superior claim of the petitioners. Reliance is placed upon the information given to the petitioners under the RTI Act. It is further averred that both the petitioners have already represented to the C.W.P.No .10415 of 2010 2 authorities on 16.1.2008 and 27.2.2008 (Annexures P13 & P-14 respectively) but their grievances have not been redressed so far. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same at this stage with a direction to respondent No.3 to call for the records, verify the assertions made on behalf of the petitioners and if found that the candidates lower in merit than the petitioners have actually been appointed over-looking their claim, respondent No.3 shall redress the grievance of the petitioners by passing a speaking order as early as possible and preferably within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. May 28, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
