IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 4552 of 2005 (O&M) Date of decision: 12th November, 2010 Naresh Kumar Vashishth … Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others … Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. R.S. Sangwan, Advocate for the applicant-petitioners. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Civil Misc. No.15727 of 2010 Issue notice of the application. Ms. Kirti Singh, Deputy Advocate General, Haryana, accepts notice on behalf of respondents No.1 and 2. For the reasons stated in the application, the same is allowed and the writ petition is restored at its original number. Civil Writ Petition No.4552 of 2005 The present petition has been filed seeking a writ in the nature of certiorari to quash condition No.1 of the appointment letter, Annexure P8. In the appointment letter, Annexure P8, condition No.1 specifically stated as under:- “1. That this arrangement is purely on temporary (stop gap arrangement) and can be dispensed with at any time without any further notice.” Civil Writ Petition No.4552 of 2005 (O&M) This Court had issued notice regarding stay. A Co-ordinate Bench on 11.8.2005 passed the following order:- “Learned counsel for the applicant-petitioner submits that although notice re: stay was given to the petitioner, yet the respondents have relieved the petitioner from service. As on date, the position is that the petitioner stands relieved from service and, hence, the petitioner is not entitled to be granted any stay. In view of the above, the stay application filed by the petitioner is dismissed. Keeping in view the facts of the case, the writ petition is ordered to be listed for final hearing within 6 months.” Counsel for the petitioner has relied upon a judgment rendered by a Division Bench of this Court in ‘Shamsher Singh and others v. State of Haryana and others’ 1998(4) RSJ 708 to contend that till the duly selected and appointed candidates join their duties, he should be allowed to continue. Further reliance has been placed upon a judgment rendered by a Single Bench of this Court in ‘Ram Phal v. State of Haryana and another’ 2002(2) RSJ 369 and another judgment of a Division Bench of this Court rendered in ‘Pardeep Kumar Sharma and others v. State of Haryana and others’ 2003(2) RSJ 363. Since the petitioner was already relieved and a regular selection has taken place, this Court cannot come to the rescue of the petitioner. Hence the present petition is hereby dismissed.
