JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr.Parmod Parmar, Advocate, for Mr. Manoj Makkar, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Harish Rathee, Sr. DAG, Haryana for the State. RANJIT SINGH J. The petitioners, who are the contractual employes, had approached this Court with a grievance that they are being unreasonably asked to enter into fresh agreement. Claiming that the petitioners possess the qualification prescribed under the statutory rules, the petitioners would refer to the decision taken by the Government to issue direction to the Industrial Training and Vocational Education Officers to fill various posts of Instructors in different Industrial Training institutes on contract basis for a period of six months. It is stated that the respondents by using their dominant position asked the petitioners to sign the agreement with the department failing which they will not be allowed to join. Reference is made to some judgment passed by this Court. Counsel for the petitioners has placed before me an order passed in CWP No. 1362 of 2010 decided on 16.02.2011 where Civil Writ Petition No. 18609 of 2009 -2- similar writ petitions have been disposed of as infructuous with the direction that now enhanced contractual salary be paid to the employees if they execute agreement. It is noted that such eventuality will cause no hardship to the petitioners. Following the same course, with the concurrence of the parties the present writ petition is disposed of in the same terms. The petitioners, who are contractually appointed on a fixed salary be paid the enhanced salary if they execute the agreement as sought by the respondents. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of as infructuous. July 11, 2011 (RANJIT SINGH ) monika JUDGE
