CWP No. 7296 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH CWP No. 7296 of 2010 Date of decision April 26, 2010 Arsh Deep Gandhi ....... Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ........ Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. Harinder Sharma , Advocate for the petitioner. **** K. Kannan, J (oral). 1. The apprehension of the petitioner is that on the basis of the instructions given by the Director, Department of Rural Development and Panchayats on 9.4.2010 that services of Para-medico persons already working with the Rural Medical Officer shall not be relieved, it is interpreted that Pharmacists could be relieved. It is his contention that a Pharmacist who is to assist the Rural Medical Officer cannot be relieved by the only fact that the Rural Medical Officer resigns or proceeds on leave without pay for higher education. He points out that the proceedings of the Deputy Director-cum-Chief Executive Officers have been issued that till a new engagement of a Rural Medical Officer is made, assisting staff shall continue to work as it is. 2. I find no ground for an apprehension expressed by the petitioner that by virtue of the impugned proceedings dated 8.4.2010, the service of the Pharmacist such as the petitioner could ever be in jeopardy. The apprehension of the petitioner is not rooted through the impugned proceedings and if ever he comes to harm by a misreading of this direction in the manner convased by him, the petitioner will have an independent remedy. As if for the present, there is nothing amiss in the CWP No. 7296 of 2010 2 impugned order to quash the same as convased in the writ petition. 3. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE April 26 , 2010 archana
