IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.16876 of 2009 Date of Decision: November 05, 2009 Jarnail Singh & Others .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab & Others .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. Mansur Ali, Advocate, for the petitioners. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) Vide Order dated 8.10.2009 (Annexure P-24), a decision in principle has been taken to the effect that SPOs may be recruited in Punjab Home Guards as Punjab Home Guard Volunteers. Conditions as required by law, however, have not been specified. Repeated representations have been made including by way of Annexure P-25, however, no decision has been taken thereon. Learned counsel contends that the petitioners have been asked to join as Home Guards. Without giving out the conditions on which the petitioners are being asked to join, CWP No.16876 of 2009 [2] rights of the petitioners cannot be settled. It would otherwise be inequitable to allow persons to join although there are statutory rules governing the issue. Learned counsel further contends that the petitioners would be satisfied if a decision on representation, Annexure P-25 is taken and conveyed to the petitioners. Considering the nature of issue, I am of the considered opinion that the petitioners have a right to response from the respondents on representation, Annexure P-25. In view of the above, the petition is disposed of with direction to the respondents to take a decision on representation, Annexure P-25 and convey the same to the petitioners, within two months of receipt of a certified copy of the order. (AJAI LAMBA) November 05, 2009 JUDGE avin 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
