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 petitioners seek a mandamus for regularization of their services in terms of the directions issued by a Division Bench of this Court dated 23.9.2002 in Civil Writ Petition No.12199 of 2000 (Sukhdev Kaur versus The State of Punjab and others). It is averred that the petitioners are working as part time Sweepers w.e.f. 1.1.1988 and 2.1.1992 respectively but their services have not been regularized despite the Government Policy and the aforesaid directions issued by this Court. The above noticed claim has been raised by the petitioners vide a legal notice dated 24.2.2011 (Annexure P-8) also but without any CWP No.8897 of 2011 [2] response thereto. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought by them, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos.2 & 3 to consider and dispose of the claim of the petitioners as contained in the legal notice dated 24.2.2011 in the light of the decision of this Court in Sukhdev Kaur's case (supra) by passing a speaking order within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. May 19, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
