IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.8848 of 2010 Date of Decision : May 14, 2010. Narinder Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Harsimran Singh Sethi, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 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 petitioner applied for the post of Teaching Fellow as a General Category candidate with registration No.169. As the petitioner had passed out his Middle Standard and Matriculation Standard Examinations from a School which was situated in a rural area and was later on closed down, it appears that for want of verification from the original record, his name was erroneously included in the list of the candidates who had relied upon bogus certificates. The petitioner represented the authorities and pointed out that his academic certificates are genuine and duly counter- signed by the District Education Officer, Gurdaspur. His explanation was accepted by the District Education Officer, Gurdaspur vide memo dated 21/12.12.2009 (Annexure P-4), followed by a reminder dated 21.4.2010 C.W.P.No .8848 of 2010 2 (Annexure P-5), requesting the Director, Education Department- respondent No.2 to re-consider the candidature of the petitioner and appoint him as per his merit. No decision has been taken by the 2nd respondent on these recommendations so far. In these circumstances and without expressing any views with regard to the petitioner's placement in the merit list, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider the aforesaid recommendations, within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Needless to say that if the petitioner is found entitled to appointment as per his merit, the necessary orders to this effect also be passed within the aforesaid stipulated period. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. May 14, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
