Sarabjit Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.D.D.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? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner is working as a Vehicle Driver in the office of the Executive Engineer, Public Health (PHC) Division No.2, Ludhiana. He impugns the show-cause notice dated 1.2.2010 (Annexure P-11) whereby respondent No.4 has proposed his reversal from the post of Driver to Pump Operator. The petitioner has already submitted his reply (Annexure P-12) to the afore-stated show cause notice. In these circumstances, when the reply of the petitioner is still under consideration of the competent authority, I do not deem it appropriate to entertain this writ petition at this stage and dispose of the same with a direction to respondent No.4 to take an appropriate decision in C.W.P.No .3474 of 2010 2 the matter in accordance with law/Government policy, preferably after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. However, keeping in view the fact that the petitioner is working on the promotional post of driver since the year 2004, it is directed that if reversal order is passed against the petitioner, the same shall not be given effect for a period of one month so as to enable the petitioner to approach this Court in accordance with law. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. 26-02-2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
