IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 5904 of 2009 DATE OF DECISION : 21.04.2009 Ms. Monika .... PETITIONER Versus State of Haryana and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present: Mr. Bhoop Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. The petitioner has filed the instant petition for quashing the place of her posting (allocation of institution) as Lecturer in Computer Engineering, with a further direction to respondent No.2 to appoint the petitioner on the said post in Government Polytechnic Education Society, Sanghi. It is the case of the petitioner that for five Government Polytechnic Education Societies, situated at Nathushri Chopta (District Sirsa), Uttawar (District Mewat), Manesar (District Gurgaon), Loharu (District Bhiwani) and Sanghi (District Rohtak), applications were invited for appointment to posts of Group B in various disciplines, including the post of Lecturer in Computer Engineering. All these Education Societies are CWP No. 5904 of 2009 -2- wholly owned and controlled by the Government. It is the case of the petitioner that she submitted separate applications against the post of Lecturer in Computer Engineering in all the five Institutions. The said recruitment was to be made by a Selection Committee under the control of Director of Technical Education, Haryana. The Selection Committee, comprising of only Government officials, interviewed all the candidates and the petitioner was selected as Lecturer in Computer Engineering in the Government Polytechnic Education Society, Nathusri Chopta (Sirsa) and she was issued appointment letter dated 10.12.2008 (Annexure P-4). After receiving the said appointment letter, the petitioner moved an application requesting respondent No.2 to transfer her in the Government Polytechnic Education Society, Sanghi (Rohtak). It is the case of the petitioner that when her request was not considered and accepted, the instant petition has been filed by her. The case of the petitioner is that she has secured more marks in interview than respondents No.6 and 7, who have been offered appointment in the Government Polytechnic Education Society, Sanghi (Rohtak), but the petitioner, who had also applied for the said Institution, has not been appointed there. Concededly, in her application forms for different Societies, the petitioner did not give any preferential choice for Government Polytechnic Education Society, Sanghi (Rohtak). She had also applied for the post of Computer Engineering in Government Polytechnic Education Society, Nathusri Chopta (Sirsa), for which she has been selected and given CWP No. 5904 of 2009 -3- appointment. The selection process of these Education Institutions has been completed and various candidates have been selected for different posts for these different five Institutions. When there was no specific choice given by the petitioner for a particular Institution, she has been selected and appointed in the Government Polytechnic Education Society, Nathusri Chopta (Sirsa). In terms of the appointment letter dated 10.12.2008 (Annexure P-4), the petitioner was to join within 15 days of the receipt of the letter. It appears that all the candidates, including respondents No.6 and 7, who have been selected, have joined their posts. In view of these facts, I am of the opinion that she has no legal right to be adjusted at Government Polytechnic Education Society, Sanghi (Rohtak), when she has been appointed as Lecturer in Computer Engineering at the Government Polytechnic Education Society, Nathusri Chopta (Sirsa). Thus, I do not find any ground to issue the direction, sought for in this petition. Dismissed. April 21, 2009 ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) ndj JUDGE
