CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE G.S.SANDHAWALIA

Present:

Mr. Ramesh Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner.

G.S.SANDHAWALIA, J. (Oral) The relief claimed in the present writ petition is for consideration of the petitioner to the post of Data Analyst on the ground that the petitioner is at Sr. No. 1 in the waiting list (Annexure P-2) as the candidate who was selected has not joined the duty. It is the pleaded case of the petitioner that the post of Data Analyst had been advertised for District Kapurthala and 8 candidates had applied. As per the merit prepared, one Ramesh Verma had got the highest marks and the petitioner was at Sr. No. 2. The said person did not join the duty and the petitioner is thus liable to be appointed. Counsel for the petitioners submits that for the redressal of his grievances, representation has been served upon respondent no. 3 on 21.08.2015 (Annexure P-3) and thereafter, a legal notice dated 29.09.2015 (Annexure P-4) has also been sent but the same are pending consideration and he would be satisfied if a time bound decision is taken on the same. Notice of motion.

CWP No. 25100 of 2015 Mr. R.S. Sidhu, AAG, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. Copy of the writ petition has been supplied to him in Court. Keeping in view the limited relief sought and without commenting on the merits of the case, this Court is of the opinion that there is no need for the respondents to file reply. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no. 3 to decide the representation dated 21.08.2015 (Annexure P-3) and the legal notice dated 29.09.2015 (Annexure P-4) within a period of 2 months from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. In case the petitioner is found entitled for the said benefit, the same be granted at the earliest. Needless to say if the relief is to be denied, a reasoned order be passed and conveyed to the petitioner. 02.12.2015 (G.S.
