(Oral) The petitioner seeks quashing of the final seniority list of Kanungos of District S.A.S.Nagar, Mohali, issued by respondent No.3 vide memo dated 4.11.2008 (Annexure P-7). The petitioner's case is that he is entitled to be placed above the private respondents in the said final seniority list. One of the grievances made by the petitioner is that he has submitted a representation-cum-appeal before the Commissioner, Patiala Division, Patiala, against the above mentioned seniority list and upon consideration, the Commissioner, Patiala Division, Patiala, vide communications dated 20.4.2009 (Annexure P-10) and 4.6.2009 C.W.P.No .79 of 2010 (O&M) 2 (Annexure P-11), directed the Deputy Commissioner, S.A.S.Nagar, Mohali, to make necessary alterations/corrections in the seniority in favour of the petitioner but no action has been taken so far on these communications. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and on perusal of the above mentioned communications said to have been sent by the Commissioner, Patiala Division, Patiala, to the Deputy Commissioner- cum-Collector, S.A.S.Nagar, Mohali, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's claim, especially when the private respondents have not been heard at this stage, I am of the considered view that it is imperative upon the Deputy Commissioner-cum-Collector, S.A.S.Nagar, Mohali, to consider the references said to have been received by him from the Commissioner, Patiala Division, Patiala, and take a final decision in the matter. Ordered accordingly. Needful shall be done within a period of three months. Dasti. 07-01-2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
