CWP No.7697 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.7697 of 2011 Date of decision : 01-12-2011 Rakesh Kumar .... Petitioner VERSUS State of Haryana and another ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present: Mr. Ashok Bhardwaj, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Sunil Nehra, DAG, Haryana. Mr. H.N. Mehtani, Advocate, for respondent No.2. MAHESH GROVER, J. (Oral) The prayer of the petitioner is that he is a Backward Class candidate and also a physically challanged person but his claim for selection has been considered in the backward category and not in the physically handicapped quota. Sh. Mehtani on instructions states that matter is squarely covered by CWP No.932 of 2011 decided on 19.08.2011 wherein in similar circumstance, this Court, while interpreting the instructions issued by the respondents had observed that such like persons should be treated in the category of physically challenged persons and the attempt of the respondents to treat the petitioner in the category of SC/BC is erroneous. Since the matter is no longer res integra, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition on the basis of observations which have been CWP No.7697 of 2011 -2- made in the aforesaid CWP No.932 of 2011 and as a result thereof, the Commission shall consider the case of the petitioner for the purposes of shortlisting him for interview in the physically handicapped category. Disposed of. (MAHESH GROVER) 01-12-2011 JUDGE manju
