IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civl Writ Petition No.9598 of 2011 Date of Decision : May 27, 2011. Nirmal Singh .....Petitioner versus The State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Surinder Gandhi, 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 grievance of the petitioner is that the departmental appeal preferred by him is lying pending with respondent No.1 since 21.7.2008. The afore-said appeal claims to have been filed by the petitioner against the orders rejecting his reply to the adverse remarks in the annual confidential reports. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of the relief sought by him, however, without expressing any views on the maintainability of the appeal, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.1 to take an appropriate decision on the appeal said to have been filed CWP No.9598 of 2011 [2] by the petitioner on 21.7.2008, within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. May 27, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
