IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 18171 of 2011 Date of Decision: 27.09.2011 Anita Rani ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ..Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. Arshdeep Singh Sivia, Advocate, for the petitioner. **** SURYA KANT, J.(Oral) The petitioner in sum and substance seeks a direction for her appointment as Hindi Mistress on the plea that respondent No.2, who is placed at merit No. 536 with 62.74% marks has already been appointed whereas the petitioner with higher merit position at Sr. No. 503 with 62.83% marks has been over looked. The petitioner has not been offered appointment allegedly without any rhyme or reason. The above stated claim has been propounded by the petitioner vide her application cum representation dated 21.07.2011 (Annexure P-3) also but there is no response from the authorities so far. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the fact that the plea taken by her requires ascertainment of correct facts, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this petition with a direction to the Director of Public Instructions (Secondary Education) Punjab to consider the claim of the petitioner, as noticed above, and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order CWP No. 18171 of 2011 [2] within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. Suffice it to mention that in case the petitioner's plea is found to be correct, the consequential appointment order shall also be issued within the above stated period.
