C.W.P. No. 18205 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No. 18205 of 2009 Date of decision: 07.12.2009 Girdhari Lal ....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and another ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD K. SHARMA Present: - Mr. Sameer Sachdeva, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** VINOD K. SHARMA, J (ORAL) The petitioner has invoked the writ jurisdiction of this Court under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India seeking writ of mandamus to the respondent-department for granting further extension of two years in service. It is the case of the petitioner, that as per the Government instructions (Annexures P-2 and P-3), the petitioner being a Class IV employee is entitled to extension in service, keeping in view his record of service, which is very good. The claim of the petitioner stands rejected by the department on the ground, that there are no instructions vide which the service could be extended upto 62 years. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner contends, that true intention of instructions is, that a person is entitled to extension of two years in service from the date of retirement. C.W.P. No. 18205 of 2009 -2- This contention is totally mis-conceived. The instructions (Annexure P-2) clearly stipulate that extension can only be upto 60 years. The department is right in saying that there are no instructions under which an employee can continue in service upto the age of 62 years. No merit. Dismissed. (Vinod K. Sharma) Judge December 07, 2009 R.S.
