Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? **** Present: Mr. Vikram Bali, Advocate for the petitioners ***** SURYA KANT J. (ORAL) (1). The petitioners, who claim to be the teachers to teach the specially-challenged children, seek their appointment to the post of ETT on the plea that they are more meritorious than the candidates so selected and have a valid certificate. They rely upon two orders of this Court passed in Mahesh Kumar v. State of Punjab & Ors. (CWP No.9123 of 2009) decided on 14.09.2010 (Annexure P12) as well as a reasoned order dated 16.09.2011 passed in CWP No.2396 of 2011 (Bhupinder Kaur & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Ors.). (2). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought by them, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondents No.2&3 to consider the claim of the petitioners in the light of the observations made Bhupinder Kaur & Other’s case (supra) and if found eligible and suitable, to issue necessary orders forthwith in favour of the petitioners. CWP No.17547 of 2011.doc - 2 – (3). Ordered accordingly. Dasti. 19.09.2011 vishal shonkar (SURYA KANT) Judge 2
