Bachan Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Manohar Dadwal, 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 is serving as S.S.Master in the Education Department, Government of Punjab. He seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to promote him to the post of Lecturer-in-Punjabi against a reserved post. The petitioner asserts that he is fully eligible and Possesses unblemished service record. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have served the respondents with a legal notice dated 25.11.2009 (Annexure P- 7) but without any response. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's claim, I deem it C.W.P.No .4548 of 2010 2 appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent No.2 to take cognizance of the afore-mentioned legal notice dated 25.11.2009, served on behalf of the petitioner and dispose of the petitioner's pending claim as early as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Needless to say that if the petitioner is found entitled to, the necessary relief shall also be granted to him within a period of two months thereafter. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
