(Oral) The petitioner is working as a Munim in the Excise and Taxation Department, Government of Punjab. He is said to have been discharging the duties of Senior Assistant as well. He seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to fill up the posts of Excise and Taxation Officers in accordance with the quota prescribed for the employees of the Ministerial Establishment under the Punjab Excise and Taxation Department (State Service Class IIIA) Rules, 1956. From the pleadings, it is apparent that the petitioner has rushed to this Court for issuance of a mandamus without even approaching the Departmental Authorities. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to seek the redressal of his grievance before C.W.P.No .4846 of 2010 2 the Departmental Authorities. If any such representation is made by him, the Competent Authority shall consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law/Rules, expeditiously by passing a speaking and reasoned order. Dasti.
