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 working as a Lecturer-in-Economics in the Secondary Education Department, Government of Punjab. She seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to promote her to the post of Principal from the date her alleged juniors have been promoted. The petitioner has averred that besides the requisite qualifications, she possesses spotless service record and thus, is fully eligible for promotion, however, she has been over-looked while promoting her juniors. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have represented the authorities on 21.1.2007 and 15.1.2009 (Annexures P-5 & P-6 respectively) but without any response thereto. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it C.W.P.No .7077 of 2010 2 appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner for promotion to the post of Principal and if found eligible, suitable and entitled to, pass an appropriate order with all consequential benefits, within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. April 22, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
