C.W.P. No. 515 of 1990 [ 1 ] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No. 515 of 1990 Date of Decision: Feb. 18, 2010 Rajinder Kumar and others ............................................ Petitioners Versus The State of Punjab and others ............................ Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ashutosh Mohunta Present: Mr. G.S.Bal, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. O.P.Dabla, DAG, Punjab. ... ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J. (Oral) The petitioners have prayed that directions be issued to the respondents to count the adhoc service rendered by them for the purpose of fixation of pay in the revised pay scales and also to grant them proficiency step ups in seniority. The petitioners were appointed as Teachers/Masters in Punjab Education Department on adhoc basis on different dates. They have claimed that the adhoc service rendered by them be counted for the purpose of fixation of pay in the revised pay scales and also for grant of proficiency step ups in seniority. This Court in C.W.P. No. 15018 of 1989 (Sukhwant Singh and others v. State of Punjab and others) has held that the adhoc service C.W.P. No. 515 of 1990 [ 2 ] rendered by the employees cannot be counted for the purpose of seniority. Likewise, the adhoc service rendered by the petitioners also cannot be counted for the purpose of grant of proficiency step ups on completion of 8 and 18 years of service. The same can also not be counted for the purpose of fixation of their pay in the revised pay scales. In view of the above, the writ petition is dismissed. 18.2.2010 ( ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA ) Rupi JUDGE
