IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.9039 of 1989 Date of decision: 25.03.2010 Dr. Mohinder Kaur ….Petitioner versus Punjab University, Chandigarh and others …Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN ------ Present: Mr.Vivek Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Deepak Sibal, Advocate, and Ms.Disha Jaiswal, Advocate, for the respondents. ----- 1. Whether reporters of local papers 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? ----- K.Kannan, J (Oral) 1. The writ petition challenges the selection of the 3rd respondent as a Lecturer and seeks for a prayer that the petitioner herself must be appointed as a Lecturer. It is stated by the learned counsel appearing for the respondents that the respondent herself is not in employment at the time when the writ petition is being taken up and the issue of quashing of appointment of the 3rd respondent does not arise. It is further contended by the learned counsel for the respondents that the petitioner had been in the waiting list but the 3rd respondent who had had joined continued till 2000, when she left the job. The waiting list itself Civil Writ Petition No.9039 of 1989 - 2 - cannot survive beyond a period of a year and the question of consideration of the petitioner for appointment after the 3rd respondent left the service in the year 2000, does not obtain any legitimacy and the intervention at this point of time is not possible. The writ petition is dismissed. (K.KANNAN) JUDGE 25.03.2010 sanjeev
