IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.18129 of 2010 Date of Decision : October 06, 2010. K.S.Parmar, Section Officer .....Petitioner versus The Punjab Small Industries and Export Corpn. Ltd. & anr. .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.B.S.Dhillon, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.H.S.Brar, Additional AG, Punjab, for respondent No.1. Mr.Anil K.Sharma, Addl. AG, Punjab, for respondent No.2. -.- 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) Notice of motion. At the asking of the Court, Mr.H.S.Brar, learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of respondent Nos.1 and Mr.Anil K.Sharma, learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of respondent No.2. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter reply from the respondents at this stage. Pursuant to the departmental enquiry, an order of punishment dated 6.8.1998 (Annexure P-3) was passed against the petitioner bringing C.W.P.No .18129 of 2010 2 him at the initial stage of the pay scale. The petitioner preferred an appeal against the said order which was turned down by the Board of Directors of the respondent-Corporation on 16.8.2005. Thereafter, the petitioner is said to have submitted a review appeal on 10.8.2006 (Annexure P-5) which is stated to be still pending consideration. The petitioner now seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to decide the said review appeal. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any views on the maintainability of the review appeal, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to the respondents to decide the petitioner's review appeal, if still pending consideration, by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. October 06, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
