IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.14408 of 2008 Date of Decision: August 13, 2010 Surinder Kumar Verma ...Petitioner VERSUS State of Haryana and others ...Respondents Present: Mr. J. S.Ahluwalia, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. (ORAL) The petitioner is husband of a teacher working in Motilal Nehru Sports School, Rai, Sonepat. He has filed this writ petition, impugning the appointment of respondent No.2, who was appointed as Principal of the School in the year 2003. Strangely, he has also raised a challenge for fixation of his pay. I fail to understand as to how and in what manner the petitioner can have a grievance against the appointment of respondent No.2 and further for fixation of his pay. The petitioner is not having any locus at all. When asked to explain his locus, the counsel says that he would have filed a Public Interest Litigation and as he was having an interest in the case, he has chosen to file the present writ petition. Even writ in public interest would not have been maintainable. The petitioner is a husband of a Teacher working in the School. Apparently, he is espousing her cause. Such under hand method and approach can not be appreciated. This needs to be discouraged. The writ petition is wholly misconceived. The same is dismissed with costs of Rs.5000/- to be deposited in the accounts of Legal Service Authority, Haryana. At this stage, counsel makes a prayer for withdrawing the writ petition. The prayer is declined. August 13, 2010 ( RANJIT SINGH ) khurmi JUDGE
