CWP No.3945 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. DATE OF DECISION: 8.3.2010 Suresh Chander ...Petitioner VERSUS State of Haryana & Others …Respondents CORAM HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI PRESENT: Mr.SN Yadav, Advocate for the petitioners Mr.RS Kundu, Addl.A.G., Haryana Permod Kohli, J. (Oral) Notice of motion. Mr.Kundu, Addl.A.G., Haryana who is present in Court has been asked to accept notice on behalf of the respondents. Keeping in view the controversy involved and with the consent of the counsel, this petition is disposed of at motion stage. The petitioner was enrolled in Haryana Police Band Staff as Inspector vide order dated 9.1.2004. He joined on the same date. The gradation list of Inspectors was published on 1.1.2009. The name of the petitioner is not included in the said gradation list. Copy thereof has been placed on record as Annexure P-2. Even the persons who were appointed CWP No.3945 of 2010 2 later in time have been included in the gradation list. The grievance of the petitioner is that his name has been illegally excluded from the gradation list. From the gradation list placed on record, it appears that the persons appointed on 22.1.2004 onwards have been shown in the gradation list whereas the petitioner who was recruited on 9.1.2004 is not included in the gradation list. The petitioner has made representation (Annexure P-3) followed by reminder (Annexure P-4) and also served a legal notice (Annexure P-6), but no decision has been taken thereon. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he would be satisfied if the respondents are directed to consider the representations and take a decision thereon. In view of the above, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no.2 to take a decision on the legal notice (Annexure P-6) within a period of three months from the date a certified copy of this order is furnished to the aforesaid respondent. Needless to say, in the event the claim of the petitioner is to be rejected, it shall be by a reasoned and speaking order. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 08.3.2010 MFK
