Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? **** Present: Mr. Dhirinder Chopra, Advocate for the petitioner ***** SURYA KANT J. (ORAL) (1). Notice of motion. On the asking, Mr. Athar Ahmed, Advocate accepts notice on behalf of the respondent-UOI. Having regard to the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no necessity to call upon the respondents to file their counter-reply/affidavit, at this stage. (2). The petitioner was serving as a Dai (Midwife) with the respondents and in regard thereto, experience certificates have also been issued to her by various offices of the respondents. The services of the petitioner were thereafter terminated. She averred that the respondents assured her time and again that as and when any vacancy would arise, her claim for adjustment/re-appointment shall be considered. But no such action has been taken so far by the respondents. CWP No.14285 of 2011.doc - 2 – (3). The petitioner further avers that now a vacancy has occurred but is not being adjusted/re-appointed by the respondents despite the legal notices dated 13.09.2010 & 09.05.2011 (Annexures P6 & P7, respectively). (4). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought, however, without expressing any views on merit or on her entitlement, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner as contained in her legal notices (Annexures P6&P7) and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. (5). Ordered accordingly. Dasti. 08.08.2011 vishal shonkar (S u r y a K a n t) Judge 2
