IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.1513 of 2009 Date of decision: January 30, 2009 Miss Minakshi Sharma ... Petitioner Versus State of Haryana & others ... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI Present : Mr. S.M. Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? AJAY TEWARI, J.(Oral) By this writ petition the petitioner has challenged the selection made to the post of Lecturer in Commerce on the ground that respondent No.12 had no teaching experience while the petitioner has teaching experience and her academic record is better than respondent No.12. It is not disputed that there was a 8 Member Selection Committee consisting of two Professors of Kurukshetra University, two Principals, one Professor of Kurukshetra University as the subject expert and one government lecturer as subject expert, among others. I am afraid that this Court cannot substitute its own opinion for that of a Selection Committee. No allegations of malafides are extraneous consideration have been made. The Selection Committee consisted of eminent educationists. It would be idle for this Court to conjecture CWP No.1513 of 2009 -2- as to what may have impressed the Committee about respondent No.12. It cannot be gainsaid that if the job had to be given only on the basis of academic record and work experience then there would be no need of Selection Committee or interview. In the circumstances, I find no merit in this writ petition. Consequently, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. January 30, 2009 (AJAY TEWARI) sonia JUDGE
