ORDER
The grievance of the petitioner relates to her restoration in service as Drawing Mistress in the newly up-graded high school in Chak No.247/G.B. The Punjab Government vide order dated 13-6-1990 has already appointed the petitioner in the said school in BPS-9 in the Educational Subordinate Services District Cadre subject to terms and conditions laid down therein. The appointment is to take effect after lifting of the ban imposed by the Government on recruitment of lady teachers in BPS-9, after summer vacation.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the imposition of ban is not relevant in the instance case, in that, the previous appointment was made on 27-6-1986, restoration of which has been sought for by the petitioner, prior to the imposition of ban. When confronted with this, the learned Addl. Advocate-General submits that the Secretary Education has already sent the case to the competent authority for relaxation of ban in the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case and the decision is likely to be taken very shortly. In case, the decision is not taken within 90 days by the competent authority, the petitioner may again approach this Court. With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of.
M.Y.H./M-2379/L Petition allowed.
