IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.2768 of 2011 Date of Decision : February 15, 2011. Ramesh Lal .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Ritesh Kumar Bansal, Advocate, for Mr.Sunil Kumar Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 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? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct respondent Nos.2 & 3 to allow him to join his duties as Tractor Trolley Driver and to regularize his services in terms of the Government Policy dated 23.1.2001 (Annexure P-2). As per the averments made in the writ petition, the petitioner had joined the Punjab State Forest Development Corporation as a daily wage Driver w.e.f. 1.8.1997 and had completed three years service in the year 2001. It is revealed that the petitioner remained absent from duty w.e.f. August, 2001 to October, 2002 due to the injuries suffered by him while on duty. Thereafter, he is again working to the entire satisfaction of the authorities. The petitioner's services were, however, not regularized in C.W.P.No .2768 of 2011 2 terms of the Government Policy dated 23.1.2001 despite various representations made by him including dated 26.6.2006 and 13.11.2008 (Annexures P-4 & P-5, respectively). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I am of the considered view that if the averments made by the petitioner are found to be correct, it appears imperative upon respondent No.2 to consider and dispose of his claim for regularization of services. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of at this state with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider the above mentioned claim of the petitioner in the light of the Government Policy dated 23.1.2001 (Annexure P-2) and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order.
