CWP No.15202 of 2008 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CWP No.15202 of 2008 Date of Decision: 18.04.2009 Rajinder Singh and another ...Petitioner V E R S U S State of Haryana and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI Present: Mr. R. S. Tacoria, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Harish Rathee, Sr. DAG, Haryana. AJAY TEWARI J. (ORAL) The present petition has been filed for a direction to the respondents to permit the petitioners to join against the posts where they had been transferred. Initially notice of motion was issued on 28.08.2008. Thereafter, six opportunities have been granted to the respondents to file reply but it has not been filed. Even today, no reply has been filed. In the circumstances, I find no justification for granting any further time to file reply and consequently close the defense of the respondents. As per the uncontroverted allegations and the annexures, the petitioners were not allowed to join only because certain Guest teachers were working against the posts to which the petitioners had been transferred. To my mind, there is no justification for preferring Guest CWP No.15202 of 2008 -2- teachers to regularly selected teachers who had been transferred. Consequently, this writ petition is allowed and the respondents are directed to permit the petitioners to join as per the transfer order (Annexure P-1) forthwith.
