CWP No.1808 of 2008 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CASE NO.: CWP No.1808 of 2008 DATE OF DECISION: December 1, 2008 HAKAM CHAND ...PETITIONER VERSUS PUNJAB STATE WATER SUPPLY AND ...RESPONDENTS SEWERAGE BOARD AND OTHERS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA. PRESENT: MR. RAJNIT SHARMA, ADVOCATE FOR THE PETITIONER. MR. VIJAY KAUSHAL, ADVOCATE FOR THE RESPONDENTS. ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J.(ORAL) The petitioner has prayed that directions be issued to respondents No.1 & 2 to promote him as Sub Divisional Engineer as he is holding the current duty charge. The petitioner has contended that respondents No.5 to 9 who are junior to the petitioner have been promoted as Sub Divisional Engineer in the Department of Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage Board and therefore, the petitioner ought to have been promoted prior to his juniors. For the aforementioned relief, the petitioner has filed representation (Annexure P-4) which has not been decided so far. Counsel for respondents No.1 to 4 states that as the petitioner does not have the requisite benchmark of 12 marks, hence he was not promoted. Learned counsel further submits that the respondents will in any case decide the representation expeditiously. CWP No.1808 of 2008 -2- After hearing learned counsel for the parties, we dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to decide the representation (Annexure P-4) in accordance with law within a period of six months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.
