HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA
Present:
Ms. Loveinder Kaur Brar, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Ms. Ishneet Kaur, A.A.G., Punjab.
***** Rajan Gupta, J. (Oral) Petitioners, in the present petition, are seeking a writ of mandamus to direct the respondents to consider their case for appointment to the post of Masters/Mistresses/E.T.T. Teacher 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 learned State counsel 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. She submits that there is no impediment in such an exercise. SUKHPREET KAUR 2019.05.24 16:19 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
