(Oral) The petitioner is presently working as an Inspector in the Municipal Council, Mandi Gobind Garh. His grievance is against non- placement at the appropriate stage in the joint seniority list of the Inspectors/Senior Assistants of the Municipal Corporation/Municipal Council. The petitioner's case is that after segregation of the cadres he ought to have been placed at Sr.No.3 instead of Sr.No.15, as shown in the order dated 7.11.2001 against which he has repeatedly represented the authorities including vide representation dated 26.2.2002, followed by a legal notice (Annexure P-6). The petitioner's grievance is that neither his representation dated 26.2.2002 or Objections dated 1.7.2005 have been considered or disposed of nor the respondents have responded to the above C.W.P.No . 5056 of 2011 2 mentioned legal notice (Annexure P-6) served on his behalf. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought by him, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider the above mentioned claim of the petitioner, especially contained in the above mentioned representation/objections/legal notice and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, if so required, after giving an opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioner and/or the other persons who are likely to be effected from this action, within a period of six months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order.
