Mr.Balwinder Singh, Advocate for respondents. Adarsh Kumar Goel, J. This petition challenges order of reversion of the petitioner dated 20.09.2004, Annexure P-7. Case of the petitioner is that he was serving the Punjab State Electricity Board and was given promotion to the post of Oil Cleaner on adhoc basic on 16.12.2003. On 20.09.2004, the petitioner was reverted back on the ground that his adhoc service could not be counted towards his eligibility for promotion. In reply filed, the impugned order has been justified on the basis of instructions, Annexure R-1, dated 23.1.2001, to the effect that adhoc service could be counted only for retirement purpose on regularization. We have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. CWP No.17082 of 2007 Learned counsel for the contesting respondents relies upon order passed by this Court dated 21.5.2007 in C.W.P. No.12137 of 2004 (Tejinder Singh v. Punjab State Electricity Board and others.) and judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in State of Haryana v. Haryana Veterinary & AHTS Association and another (2000) 8 SCC 4. We are of the view that there is no merit in the writ petition. The order of this Court in Tejinder Singh (supra), relied upon on behalf of the contesting respondents, has not been shown to be, in any manner, distinguishable. The same view has also been taken by this Court in judgment dated 24.8.2007 in C.W.P. No.13233 of 2007 (Ramesh Kumar Joshi v. Punjab State Electricity Board and others.) Accordingly, this petition is dismissed. Adarsh Kumar Goel) Judge 19.10.2007 ( Ajai Lamba ) ashwani Judge
