-15Mr. P.S. Bajwa, Addl.A.G., Punjab.

***** Rajan Gupta, J. (Oral) Petitioners, in the above-mentioned petitions, are seeking a writ of mandamus to direct the respondents to consider the case of the petitioners for appointment to the posts of Masters/Mistresses/E.T.T. Teachers in various subjects as they claim to have cleared Teachers Eligibility Test as per the revised result.

Admittedly some appointments were made on the basis of result declared earlier. An anomalous situation has arisen as to the entitlement of the petitioners for appointment on the basis of revised result and the right of the persons, appointed on the basis of earlier result, to continue in service. A query has been put to Mr. Bajwa whether a committee of senior officers headed by the Chief Secretary can consider the entire issue and take a just and fair decision under the circumstances. He submits that there is no impediment in such an exercise.

Under the circumstances, the bunch of petitions are hereby disposed of with a direction that a committee of three officers headed by Chief Secretary shall be constituted to consider the claim of the petitioners as well as related issues. A decision shall be taken within two months and the petitioners be informed accordingly. The committee would also take into consideration the consolidated affidavit filed in CWP Nos.24341 and 29601 of 2017 while arriving at its decision.
