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 Commercial Practice under the Government Polytechnic Education Society, Uttawar, District Palwal (Haryana). Pursuant to the directions earlier issued by this Court in Civil Writ Petition No.2869 of 2010 (Annexure P-11), filed by the petitioner, the Principal Secretary to Government of Haryana, Technical Education Department vide order dated 26.4.2010 (Annexure P-12) has accepted in principle the petitioner's claim for promotion as Senior Lecturer against the post which was available before the amended Rules came into force. He has observed that “the matter may take some time to complete the office C.W.P.No .11123 of 2010 2 procedure and process”. Thereafter, the matter regarding promotion of the petitioner as Senior Lecturer was taken up by the Board of Governors in the meeting held on 22.5.2010 but they decided to refer the matter to the Director, Technical Education, Haryana, on the plea that it involves large implications and policy decision. Aggrieved, the petitioner has approached this Court. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length and on perusal of the documents on record, I am of the considered view that once the competent authority has accepted the petitioner's claim for his promotion as Senior Lecturer in Commercial Practice, there was no legal necessity for the Board of Governors to refer the matter to a subordinate authority, rather it ought to have formalize the decision already taken in principle. Consequently, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to re-consider the matter and take a final decision with regard to promotion of the petitioner as Senior Lecturer in Commercial Practice, within a period of one month from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order.
