IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.16528 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision : 19.1.2010. Jasbir Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Hardial Singh Baath, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 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? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks mandamus to direct the respondents to appoint him on compassionate ground as his father, namely late Amolak Singh No.427-R, had died in harness in the year 1988. The petitioner was said to be minor at that time and he attained majority in the year 1992 and since then he is allegedly representing and running from pillar to post to get appointment but without any response. It appears from the communication dated 4.5.2009 (Annexure P-4) sent by the Director General of Police, Punjab to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Roopnagar, that the petitioner was insisting for appointment as a Clerk for which the prescribed qualification C.W.P.No .16528 of 2009 (O&M) 2 is graduation with Computer course and the petitioner does not possess the same. The Competent Authority has still directed to consider his claim for appointment to a Class-IV (Contingent Paid) post. In my considered view, no direction can be issued to the respondents to appoint the petitioner on compassionate ground on a post for which he does not possess the basic qualification. No interference with the impugned order is called for. Dismissed. 19-01-2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
