Respondents **** 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? **** Present: Mr. HC Arora, Advocate for the petitioner **** SURYA KANT J. (ORAL) 1. Notice of motion. On the asking, Ms. Sudeepti Sharma, learned DAG Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. Having regard to the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no necessity to call upon the respondents to file their reply/affidavit, at this stage. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that 225 posts of Junior Coaches in the Sports Department, Punjab advertised on 15.07.2011, are sought to be filled in by prescribing a criteria which, according to the petitioner, is contrary to the statutory Service Rules, namely, Punjab Sports (Group-C) Service Rules, 2001. He therefore seeks quashing of the advertisement dated 15.07.2011 (Annexure P3). 3. In my considered view the contention raised on behalf of the petitioner need to be addressed and requires consideration by the CWP No.18081 of 2011.doc - 2 – competent authority as this Court may not be the appropriate form in this regard. 4. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of, at this stage, with a direction to the Principal Secretary, Government of Punjab, Department of Sports and Youth Services to treat this writ petition as a representation on behalf of the petitioner and dispose of the same before the result for the posts of Junior Coaches is declared, by passing a reasoned order within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order and conveyed to the petitioner so as to enable him to approach the appropriate forum, if so required or advised. 5. Disposed of accordingly. Dasti. 26.09.2011 vishal shonkar (S u r y a K a n t) Judge 2
