IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH AT SHIMLA CWP No. 1159 of 2007 Date of Decision :25.03.2010 __________________________________________________________ Smt. Bimla Devi. ….Petitioner. Versus State of H.P. and others. ….Respondents. ___________________________________________________________ Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Dev Darshan Sud, J. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kuldip Singh, J. Whether approved for reporting?1 __________________________________________________________ For the Petitioner: Mr. Dilip Sharma, Advocate. For the Respondents No. 1 to 4: Mr. P.K. Sharma, Additional Advocate General. For the Respondent No. 5: Mr. M.L. Sharma, Advocate. __________________________________________________________ Per Dev Darshan Sud, J. (Oral) The short point involved in this Writ Petition is the appointment of the petitioner as a Part Time Water Carrier in Government Primary School Barsanoo (Dhundan). It is undisputed before us that the interview for this post was held on 28.1.1999. What is disputed is that the result of the interview was signed on 22.3.2000 and 21.8.2000. The learned Tribunal on consideration of record finds as a fact that on 28.1.1999 the result of the interview was not signed. The appointment of the petitioner was set aside on this ground alone as there was no explanation as to why it was signed on a later date(s) when the validity of the 1 Whether Reporters of Local Papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2 selection panel had expired. We also find from the record that on 27.10.2006 the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Arki was summoned in the Tribunal, who stated that all members of selection committee have signed the papers of the result on the date of interview. This was not in concord with the record produced before the Tribunal. We, therefore, find no merit in this Writ Petition, which is dismissed. It is open to the respondents to make selection of Water Carrier in accordance with law. All miscellaneous applications stand disposed of. All the interim order(s) stand vacated.
