Sidharth Kumar .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Parvesh Saini, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 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 is a physically challenged person who applied for the post of Senior Laboratory Attendant which were advertised vide advertisement dated 20.7.2007 (Annexure P-1). His grievance is that no communication for calling him for interview and/or to participate in the selection process, was ever received by him. His further grievance is that he has represented to the authorities time and again to consider his candidature, especially when the candidates with lower academic qualifications have been given appointments but his claim has not been considered so far. Aggrieved, the petitioner impugns the selection and appointment of respondent Nos.4 to 24. C.W.P.No .10209 of 2010 2 I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the averments made by him. Since the main grievance of the petitioner pertains to non- receipt of the information and consequential denial of right to compete in the selection process, it will be more appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos.2 & 3 to consider the above- mentioned claim of the petitioner and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Suffice it to say that if the respondents find that the petitioner was deprived of his right to compete for no fault on his part, they shall consider his candidature in accordance with law within the afore-stated stipulated period. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. May 27, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
