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? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner belongs to the reserved category of backward classes. She was a candidate for the post of Headmistress advertised in October, 2006. The petitioner's case is that despite having secured 65.68% marks as per the selection criteria, she has been over-looked and respondent No.4, who got 62.19% marks only, has been selected against the post of Headmistress reserved for backward class. Pursuant to a public notice dated 15.10.2009, whereby the candidates were invited to submit their certificates etc., the petitioner appeared and produced the original backward class certificate but despite that, no decision has been taken by respondent Nos.2 & 3 though the C.W.P.No .2843 of 2010 2 petitioner has thereafter served them with a legal notice dated 16.12.2009 (Annexure P-6) also. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length and keeping in view the factual assertion made on behalf of the petitioner which needs to be verified by the competent authority, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent nos.2 & 3 to take cognizance of the legal notice dated 16.12.2009 (Annexure P-6) served on behalf of the petitioner and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order as early as possible, preferably within a period of 3 months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. 18-02-2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
