IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 9930 of 2009. [O&M] Date of Decision: 8th July, 2010. Neki Ram Petitioner through Mr. Rajeev Anand, Advocate Versus Union of India & Ors. Respondents through Ms. Sangeeta Dubey, Advocate. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 1. 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 petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 10.06.2006 [Annexure P-8] as also the order dated 30.06.2009 [Annexure P-10] and in consequence thereof to promote the petitioner to the rank of Inspector. The petitioner was considered for promotion as to the rank of Inspector but on account of Low-Medical Category, his case was kept pending subject to attaining the Medical Category Shape-I which is a necessary condition for promotion. Though the petitioner has been subsequently promoted as Inspector, his grievance is that after deferring his case, the respondents ought to have granted him promotion as soon as he was graded as Category Shape-I with effect from the due date, though without paying back wages as laid down in Para 6 of the Standing Order No. 4 of 2002 dated 29.05.2002 [Annexure P-11]. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and on perusal of the afore-stated instructions, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to respondent No. 2 to re- consider the claim of the petitioner for retrospective promotion but without payment of back wages in terms of Para 6 read with Para 17 of the Standing Order No. 4 of 2002 [Annexure P-11], preferably within a period of three months from the date a certified copy of this order is received. Disposed of. Dasti. July 08, 2010. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
