IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 22124 of 2010 Harwinder Singh ...Petitioner Versus Union Territory, Chandigarh and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Ms. Reeta Kohli, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Kapil Kakkar, Advocate for the respondents. RANJIT SINGH J. The grievance made in the present writ petition is that single cadre post could not have been reserved for any reserved category. This results in non-consideration of the petitioner, who is working on the post. An attempt was made to rely on some instructions to justify the reservation for the post of Ex-serviceman on the basis it being a horizontal reservation. That would not be a valid ground to make reservation for a single cadre post. Counsel for the respondents submits that no process further has been followed for appointment in this case after issuance of advertisement. At the same time, it is not stated that no appointment is likely to be made pursuant to this reservation. Since the single cadre post cannot be reserved, it would be appropriate not to make any reservation. If the respondents make any further process of appointment, the case of the petitioner cannot be debarred from submitting application and he has to be considered eligible for making application. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. September 19, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
