Rajan Sharma .....Petitioner versus Registrar (General), Punjab and Haryana High Court & Anr. ....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr. Baljinder Singh Sra, 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 who is working as clerk in the District Court, Amritsar wanted to pursue the LLB Degree Course as a regular student after availing leave which has been declined by the learned District and Sessions Judge, Amritsar on the plea that it will hamper the official work. The petitioner in order to seek admission in the said course, resigned from service, got admission and again re-joined the service as he was permitted to withdraw his resignation. The petitioner thereafter submitted a representation-cum-appeal on 5.8.2010 through proper channel to the Hon'ble Administrative Judge of Amritsar Sessions Division seeking leave of the kind due to enable him to complete the LLB Degree Course. C.W.P.No .5166 of 2011 2 Since the learned and District Sessions Judge, Amritsar has declined to grant leave and the petitioner likely to face shortage of lectures if does not attend the classes, that he has approached this Court. In these circumstances and without expressing any views on the petitioner's claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a request to the Hon'ble Administrative Judge of Amritsar Sessions Division to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner through proper channel sympathetically and if it does not impede the administrative work, to grant 'leave without pay' or 'kind of the due' Till then, the learned District and Sessions Judge, Amritsar may sanction leave of the kind due to the petitioner. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. March 22, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
