(Oral) The petitioner is a Science Mistress posted in Government Senior Secondary School, Sidwan, District Patiala. She possesses the academic qualification of M.Sc. in Human Biology. She asserts herself eligible for the post of Lecturer-in-Biology on the basis of the report of the Experts Committee constituted and referred to by this Court in the order dated 25.5.2010 passed in CWP No.17327 of 2008 (Arvinder Kaur versus State of Punjab and others) (Annexure P-3). The petitioner has lodged her claim for promotion vide a legal notice dated 18.10.2010 (Annexure P-4) also but the same has not been responded so far. The petitioner alleges and rightly so that she was earlier declined the promotion vide order dated CWP No.17480 of 2011 [2] 12.5.2010 on an erroneous premise that she is ineligible. According to the petitioner, it is obligatory upon the respondents to re-consider her claim for promotion in the light of the order passed by this Court in Arvinder Kaur's case (supra). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, I find some substance in the contention noticed above. However, without expressing any final view on the merits of the petitioner's claim, 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 the aforementioned legal notice dated 18.10.2010 in the light of the report of the Expert Committee and the order passed by this Court in Arvinder Kaur's case (supra), and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. In case the petitioner is found eligible/suitable for promotion, the same shall be granted to her from the due date and with consequential benefits. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
