(Oral) Notice of motion. Mr.Mohnish Sharma, Advocate appearing for Mr.Narender Hooda, Advocate who is present inCourt has been asked to accept notice on behalf of respondent no.1 and Mr.RD Sharma, D.A.G, Haryana who is present in Court has been asked to accept notice on behalf of respondent no.2. Keeping in view the prayer made and with the consent of learned counsel for the parties, this petition is disposed of at motion stage. Respondent no.2 invited applications for posts of L.D.C. As many as 308 posts were advertised. Out of which 20 posts were reserved for Ex- servicemen (General) Category. Subsequently, the number of vacancies were increased to 336. The posts for ESM (Gen.) Category were also increased from 20 to 22. The petitioner also applied for the said post under CWP No.23405 of 2010 2 the ESM (Gen.) Category. The petitioner appeared in the Type Test and was also called for interview. The final result was declared on 27.7.2010 vide Annexure P-6. On declaration of final result, it was notified that five posts under ESM (Gen.) Category are still lying vacant. The grievance of the petitioner is that he is one of the candidates who performed well and is eligible, but he has not been considered for selection/appointment. There is nothing in the writ petition as to what is the merit position of the petitioner. The petitioner has made a representation/legal notice (Annexures P-7 and P- 8), but no decision has been taken thereon. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioner would be satisfied if respondents are directed to take decision on his representation/legal notice. In view of the above, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no.2 to decide the representation/legal notice within a period of three months from the date a certified copy of this order is served upon the competent authority. Needless to say in the event the claim of the petitioner is to be rejected, it shall be by a reasoned and speaking order. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 24.12. 2010 MFK CWP No.10585 of 2010 3
