C.W.P No. 2657 of 2007 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P No. 2657 of 2007 Decided On : 09.03.2009 Hari Singh ...Petitioner versus Chairman, PSEB and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. P. K. Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms. Amandeep Sibia, Advocate, for the respondents. SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) The petitioner seeks quashing of the seniority-cum- priority list dated 25.11.2006 prepared by PSEB authorities in which his name has been shown at S.Nos.149-150. The said seniority-cum-priority list has been prepared for the release of electric tube well connections. The petitioner has applied for two connections, therefore, his name finds mentioned at two places. Notice of motion was issued and in response thereto, the respondents have filed their reply-affidavit. It is submitted that the seniority-cum-priority list has been prepared on the basis of the circular which, inter-alia, provides a cut off date for applying and thereafter the C.W.P No. 2657 of 2007 -2- deficiencies, if any, can be completed by the farmers subsequently also. Learned counsel for the respondents points out that the present seniority-cum-priority list includes names of all those farmers who had applied before 31.03.1990.As per her latest instructions, the petitioner's name is at S. Nos. 98 and 99 as some of the connections have since been released. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, contends that names of ineligible persons, who did not submit the test report within time, are being added over and above the petitioner's name. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondents No.3 and 4 to look into the petitioner's complaint and if there is any substance in his allegations, to carry out necessary corrections in the seniority-cum-priority list. However, if the authorities are of the view that the name of the petitioner, presently at S. Nos. 98 and 99, is correctly placed, an endeavour shall be made to release as many connections as possible, so that the petitioner's waiting period does not go beyond eight months. Disposed of.
