KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.S. BHALLA Present: Mr. Naresh Ghai ,Advocate for the appellant 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgement ? 2. To be referred to the Reporter or not ? 3. Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? M.M.KUMAR, J. This appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against the order dated 8.5.2009 passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court in COCP No. 881 of 2009. It has been categorically found that the petitioners were granted the requisite benefit in pursuance to the directions issued by this Court on 5.8.2008 in CWP No. 15413 of 2007. The matter with regard to benefit of senior/selection grade to Lecturers who had served on adhoc basis before joining the regular service came up for consideration before the Director of Public Instructions. On 20.4.2009 (P.2) she found from the service book of the appellants that the adhoc service rendered by the appellant no.1 was not continuous because she had worked only for 7 months 18 days whereas the period of continuous adhoc service of appellant no.2 was only of 7 days. The circular on the basis of which prayer for grant of benefit was made contemplates that benefit could be granted only to those who had rendered one year adhoc service without LPA No. 398 of 2009(O&M) 2 break prior to the regular appointment. Accordingly on 20.4.2009 an order was passed. The learned Single Judge without going into the merits of those orders has opined that the appellants could avail any other remedy in accordance with law as a fresh cause of action had arisen to them. It has been concluded that there has been no violation of the directions issued by this court on 5.8.2008 while deciding CWP No. 15413 of 2007. Once the appellants have been granted liberty to challenge the order dated 20.4.2009 (P.2) on the basis of fresh cause of action as no room for making any grievance is left. The instant appeal, therefore is without any merit as no exception is provided to interfere nor any other relief could have been granted. The appellants may, if so, advised may avail the remedy in terms of the orders passed by the learned Single Judge. (M.M.Kumar) Judge (H.S. Bhalla ) 18.5.2009 Judge okg
