CHANDIGARH CWP No. 7469 of 2016 Date of decision: 25.04.2016 Daljit Singh ....Petitioner(s)

Versus

Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd. and others

...Respondent(s)

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

Present:

Mr. Shashi K. Rattan, Advocate, for the petitioner.

G.S.SANDHAWALIA, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks the implementation of Circular No. 18 of 2013 dated 26.04.2013 (Annexure P-3) whereby, he seeks the induction from 01.01.1986 as Junior Engineer and for grant of consequential benefits etc. instead 26.10.1995.

It is the case of the petitioner that the departmental recruitment test was held on 27.11.1994 and the petitioner passed the same on 07.06.1995 before 14.09.2003. As per the instructions (Annexure P-3), he had filed a representation dated 22.01.2014 (Annexure P-4) that he should be given the benefit of Circular No. 18 of 2013. Thereafter also, a legal notice dated 23.09.2015 (Annexure P-5) has been served upon the respondents which has not been decided. It is the case of the petitioner that he is to retire on 31.05.2017 and, therefore, would be adversely affected if no decision is taken on the legal notice.

Counsel submits that he would be satisfied if the above said legal notice is decided within a time bound frame. SHIVANI GUPTA 2016.04.26 11:30 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh

CWP No. 7469 of 2016 Keeping in view the limited relief sought, this Court is of the opinion that there is no need to call for the respondents to file reply. Accordingly, without commenting on the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no. 2 to decide the legal notice dated 23.09.2015 (Annexure P-5) within a period of 3 months from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. Needless to say if the relief is to be denied, a reasoned order be passed and conveyed to the petitioner.
