CWP No. 20510 of 2008 (1) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CWP No. 20510 of 2008 Date of decision: December 5, 2008 Baljinder Bansal --- Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others --- Respondents CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ashutosh Mohunta Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajan Gupta Present: Mr. GLBajaj, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ashutosh Mohunta, J (Oral). The petitioner, who is working as Welfare Officer, is aggrieved by the action of the respondents in not considering his candidature for nomination to the post of Punjab Civil Services ( Executive) from Registrar A-1 ( Tehsildar/Naib Tehsildar). Counsel submits that vide Annexure P7, the minimum experience required for nomination of a person to the post of a Tehsildar has been reduced from 10 to 6 years and in the case of Naib Tehsildar, it has been reduced from 10 years to 8 years, whereas for the Welfare Officer, the experience required for nomination has not been reduced. Counsel further submits that the experience for nomination of a person holding the post of Welfare Officer should also have been reduced from 10 years to 6 years and in that eventuality the petitioner would have become eligible to be nominated, as he has got 8 years experience. By not doing so, the petitioner has been discriminated. After hearing the counsel, we are of the opinion that this Court cannot reduce the experience required for a particular post. CWP No. 20510 of 2008 (2) This issue is solely within the domain of the Government. There is no merit in the present writ petition, which is hereby dismissed.
