CWP No.1098 of 2007 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CASE NO.: CWP No.1098 of 2007 DATE OF DECISION: January 23, 2007 KAMLESH KUMARI D/O HAWA SINGH ...PETITIONERS AND ANOTHER VERSUS STATE OF HARYANA & ORS. ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R.S. MADAN. PRESENT: MR. HARI OM ATTRI, ADVOCATE FOR THE PETITIONERS. ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J. (ORAL) Learned counsel for the petitioners prays that he be allowed to withdraw the writ petition qua petitioner No.2 to enable him to file a fresh one. The writ petition qua petitioner No.2 is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty aforesaid. Petitioner No.1 had applied for the post of JBT Teacher. The last date for submitting the application was 21.8.2006, on which date the petitioner should have passed the ETT Course. The petitioner passed the ETT Course on 25.8.2006. As the petitioner has acquired the qualification after the last date, therefore, she cannot be considered at all. In Ashok Kumar Sharma and others vs. Chander Shekar and another reported as 1997(3) RSJ 26, it has been held by the Apex Court that where the applications are called for by prescribing a particular date as the last date for CWP No.1098 of 2007 -2- filing applications, the eligibility of the candidates shall have to be judged with reference to that date and that date alone and a person who acquires the qualification subsequent to the said prescribed date cannot be considered at all. As the petitioner had acquired the qualification on 25.8.2006, whereas, the cut off date was 21.8.2006, hence she is not entitled to be considered for the post of JBT Teacher. Dismissed.
