AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) The petition has been filed under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India paying for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari, quashing Order dated 30.5.2008 (Annexure P-3). Gist of the claim of the petitioner is that promotion of the petitioner from the post of Master to Lecturer in Department of Education, Punjab, has been denied on the ground that CWP No.3771 of 2009 [2] results of the students taught by the petitioner were not good. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the stand of the respondents in denying the promotion to the petitioner is in violation of the statutory rules. Instructions have been issued on 21.8.2009 whereunder the respondents are now not taking into account the results of the students for consideration of promotion. Learned counsel for the respondents contends that indeed the petitioner cannot be denied promotion on the ground of inadequate results of the students. In view of the above, the petition is allowed. The respondents are directed to consider the case of the petitioner for promotion to the post of Lecturer dehors the results of the students taught by him. The petitioner, accordingly, would be entitled to promotion with effect from the date her juniors have been promoted. The petitioner would also be entitled to consequential benefits. (AJAI LAMBA) November 12, 2009 JUDGE avin 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? CWP No.3771 of 2009 [3] 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
