IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.2359 of 2011 Date of decision : 18.10.2011 Jagbir Singh ....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr.Nonish Kumar, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. This is a petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India where the petitioner prays that he be considered for appointment to the post of Junior Engineer as his name is appearing in the waiting list in a selection which took place in the year 2009. The facts of the case reveal that 10 posts of Junior Engineer were advertised and subsequent to the selection process, the 10 persons selected availed the appointment and joined their posts, implying thereby that no post remained unfilled after the selection of 10 Junior Engineers which were thrown open to the public for employment. The petitioner makes a case for himself on the basis of Annexure P-4 to contend that 10 more posts of Junior Engineers are lying vacant and, therefore he has a right to be appointed since he was C.W.P.No.2359 of 2011 -2- on the waiting list. I am afraid, the contention is totally misplaced. It is not disputed before this Court that only 10 posts were advertised in the selection process for which the petitioner also participated and was placed in the waiting list. All the 10 persons who were above the petitioner in the selected list joined the department. There is thus no post available in the selection process in which the petitioner participated and merely because 10 more posts of Junior Engineer are lying vacant with the department does not give any inherent right to the petitioner especially when the posts have not been thrown open to the selection process. No ground to interfere. Dismissed. 18.10.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
