RAJIV NARAIN RAINA, J.

1. This order will dispose of CWP Nos.5451, 5815, 5517, 5783, 5870 and 6012 of 2015 as common questions of law and facts are involved in all these writ petitions. There is no necessity to refer to the facts of any of the cases, in view of the order proposed to be passed.

2. When some of these matters came up for motion hearing on 27th March, 2015, a coordinate Bench of this Court passed the following order:-

“The petitioners have impugned the action of the respondents in holding them disentitled to compete for the post of Stenographers Grade III. The ground taken is that they did not have the qualification of Matriculation level knowledge of Punjabi language. The limited prayer made by the learned counsel is that in the past, even in the face of this rule, the respondents have appointed the persons who did not have Matric level knowledge of Punjabi but have imposed a condition that they will have to pass Punjabi of Matric equivalence within a certain time. The petitioners claim that they would be willing to abide by this condition but their rejection on this ground is neither fair nor logical considering the nature of work which they are supposed to do
