LPA No. 160 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. LPA No. 160 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision 19 .4.2011 Jagbir Singh ... Appellant Versus State of Haryana and others ... Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE T.P.S. MANN Present: Mr. Suresh Kumar Redhu, Advocate for the appellant 1. To be referred to the Reporter or not ? 2. Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? M.M.KUMAR, J. The instant appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against judgement dated 11.1.2010 rendered by the learned Single Judge holding that the appellant cannot claim seniority over and above SI Sube Singh who belongs to Hisar range. The appellant infact belongs to Rohtak range as he was confirmed as Sub Inspector w.e.f. 31.1.2001 in Rohtak range. It is true that appellant was initially appointed in Hisar range but on his own request he was transferred to Rohtak range vide order dated 7.5.2001 which would amount to joining a new range and accordingly acquiring new seniority position. Therefore in no case, he could claim seniority over SI Sube Singh who belongs to Hisar range as the seniority of Sub Inspectors is maintained at range level. There is no case for claiming parity in the matter of seniority between the officers of different ranges. Having heard the learned counsel at a considerable length we are of the considered view that the learned Single Judge has taken the LPA No. 160 of 2011 2 correct view on the basis of facts and law. The learned counsel for the appellant has not been able to cite any rule to the contrary. No case is made out for admission of the appeal and the same is hereby dismissed. (M.M.Kumar) Judge (T.P.S.
