Present:- Mr. Umesh Narang, Advocate for the petitioner. *** PERMOD KOHLI.J (ORAL) Notice of motion. Mr. R.S. Kundu, Addl. A.G., Haryana has been asked to accept notice on behalf of respondents-State. Keeping in view the nature of relief claimed and with the consent of learned counsel for the parties, this petition is being disposed of at the motion stage itself. The petitioner was appointed as J.B.T Teacher on ad hoc basis on 26.9.1988 and later regularized w.e.f. 1.1.1991. The petitioner also possessed the qualification of Giani (Honors in Punjabi) from the Punjabi University, Patiala. The next promotion from the post of J.B.T. Teacher is to the post of Language Teacher i.e. Punjabi Teacher for which 25% vacancies are earmarked. It is stated that similarly situated persons were denied promotion when they did not possess the L.T.C(O.T) qualification. However, this issue has been decided by this Court in CWP No. 2439 of 1998 and other connected matters, wherein J.B.T qualification has been held to be equivalent to O.T. The petitioner is claiming promotion against 25% promotional quota to the post of Language Teacher but she has CWP. No. 8013 of 2010 -2- not been considered for the same. Petitioner made representation (Annexure P-5) and also served a legal notice (Annexure P-6) but no decision has been taken thereon till date. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner would be satisfied, if, respondents are directed to take decision on the representation/legal notice served by the petitioner, referred to above. In view of the above, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no.2 to take decision on the representation/legal notice served by the petitioner within a period of three months from the date certified copy of this order is served upon the said respondent. Needless to say that in the event the claim of the petitioner is to be rejected, the same shall be by a reasoned and speaking order. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 5.5.2010. lucky
