IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 1376 (S/B) of 2002 Sudhir Kumar and another. …………Petitioners. Versus State of Uttarakhand and others. ……… Respondents. Sri Sharad Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioners. Sri H.M. Raturi, learned Standing Counsel for the State of Uttarakhand. Dated : May 22, 2008 Hon’ble P.C. Verma, J The dispute in the writ petition relates to cancellation of appointment order obtained by the petitioners on the basis of domicile certificates issued to them on 15.01.2002 and 17.01.2002. 2. Domicile Certificates were issued to the petitioners following the Government Order Dated 18.08.2001. Government Order dated 18.08.2001 ceased to operate on issue of the Government order dated 20.11.2001 which provides that Domicile Certificate shall be granted only to those bonafide residents, who have been residing in the State of Uttarakhand from the last fifteen years. Admittedly, the petitioners do not fulfil that condition of Government Order. Therefore, their domicile certificates were wrongly issued. 3. A perusal of the Select List shows that at least seven persons have been selected and appointed, who are residents of State of U.P. and their names figures at serial no. 68, 76, 86, 129, 141, 166 and 171. This fact has been proved from the perusal of the Select List. 4. It is mentioned in the Advertisement that the candidate must be registered in Employment Exchange of State of Uttarakhand and registration in the Employment Exchange can only be made, if a candidate is domicile of State of Uttarakhand. Meaning thereby, only those candidates, who are belonging to State of Uttarakhand, shall be entitled to apply in pursuance to the Advertisement. 5. In the facts of the case narrated above, it is provided that if those seven persons, who are residents of State of U.P., as mentioned in the Select List (Annexure no. 3 to the writ petition) have been allowed to join and are working, petitioners shall also be allowed to continue to work. 6. With this direction, writ petition is disposed of finally. No order as to costs. (P.C. Verma, J) 22.05.2008 SKS
