IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 20023 of 2009 Date of decision: 30.11.2010 Sheela Devi ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr. H.N. Khanduja, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Harish Rathee, Sr. DAG, Haryana for the State. RANJIT SINGH J. The petitioner had filed this writ petition making the claim for promotion to the post of Sanskrit teacher. The respondents have taken a stand that the petitioner is not eligible for consideration for promotion as he has not having the requisite qualification. In addition, it is stated that the petitioner is not yet in a zone of consideration. Counsel for the petitioner has referred to State of Haryana versus Indira Kumari 2003 (4) SCT to say that the qualification of J.B.T. is equated with O.T. and hence the petitioner would fulfill the requirement of qualification. Since the petitioner is not coming in the zone of consideration, the question of considering his case of promotion does not arise. The present writ petition, therefore, is dismissed at this stage with the observation that as and when the case of the petitioner becomes due for consideration of promotion, the same will be considered in accordance with law as applicable at that stage.
