Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? **** Present: Mr. ADS Ghuman, Advocate for the petitioner ***** SURYA KANT J. (ORAL) (1). The petitioner alleges that she has not been considered for appointment to the post of ETT only on the plea that the Diploma in Elementary Teachers Training has been undertaken by her from the State of J&K. She relies upon an order dated July 16, 2009 passed in a bunch of writ petitions including Rajinder Singh & Ors. v. State of Punjab & Ors. (CWP No.19745 of 2008) wherein the State Government made a concession to the effect that the Diploma in ETT passed from the State of J&K has been recognized and such a candidate shall be considered for appointment. (2). The petitioner appears to have raised her claim vide representations dated 14.09.2008, 16.04.2009 & 19.05.2011 CWP No.17551 of 2011.doc - 2 – (Annexures P4, P5 & P6, respectively) but the same have not been considered on merits. (3). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, however, without commenting on merits, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner as contained in her representations (Annexure P4 to P5), in the light of the decision rendered by this Court in Rajinder Singh & Other’s case (supra) and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. (4). Ordered accordingly. Dasti. 19.09.2011 vishal shonkar (SURYA KANT) Judge 2
