To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? **** Present: Mr. A.S. Cheema, Advocate for the petitioner ***** SURYA KANT J. (ORAL) (1). The petitioner is working as a Lecturer in Physical Education in the Education Department, Government of Punjab. She seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to assign her seniority from the date when other candidates, selected and appointed along with her, have been assigned the same. It appears that the petitioner was kept at Sr.No.1 in the waiting list and she was appointed later on as one of the selected candidates, Amarjit Kaur, did not opt to join her duties. (2). The petitioner, however, has not been assigned seniority along with her batchmates despite her CWP No.4198 of 2010.doc - 2 – representation dated 26.08.2009 (Annexure P4) followed by a legal notice dated 05.10.2009 (Annexure P5). (3). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief prayed for, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.3 to take cognizance of the representation as well as the afore-mentioned legal notice (Annexure P4 and P5, respectively) and dispose of the petitioner’s pending claim by passing a speaking order within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. (4). Ordered accordingly. (5). Dasti . (SURYA KANT) JUDGE 10.03.2010 vishal shonkar
