CWP (T) No.: 4703/2008 Decided on: 24.06.2010 ______________________________________________________ Deepak Pal and another ..…..Petitioners Versus State of H.P. & another ..…. Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sanjay Karol, Judge. For the petitioners : Mr.Bhuvnesh Sharma, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General. Sanjay Karol, J (oral) The petitioners are seeking employment as Pharmacist simply on the basis of their enrollment with the employment exchange(s). 2. There are Recruitment and Promotions Rules for the post of Pharmacist. The entire selection process has to be completed in accordance with law. Petitioner has made vague allegation about the selection and appointment process adopted by the respondents for the post of Pharmacist in September- October, 1997 being illegal. Selected candidates have also not been arrayed as parties. 3. Simply, because the petitioners are otherwise eligible for being considered for the post of Pharmacist that fact by itself would not entitle them for appointment, more so on the basis of their seniority in the Employment Exchange(s). The allegations that the selection process in question is vitiated due to nepotism …2… are also vague, unspecific and unsubstantiated. No interim order was passed in favour of the petitioners when the matter came up for hearing for the first time on 5th December, 1997. 4. For the aforesaid reasons, the present petition, being devoid of merit is dismissed. No costs. (Sanjay Karol), Judge June 24, 2010 “BRB”
