CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.22590 OF 2010 :{ 1 }: IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH DATE OF DECISION: AUGUST 17, 2011 Rekha Rani .....Petitioner VERSUS The State of Haryana and another ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgement? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? PRESENT: Mr. R. K. Arora, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Harish Rathee, Sr.DAG, Haryana, for the State. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner, who is an applicant for appointment to the post of a Clerk advertised on 7.2.2008, has filed this writ petition, seeking direction for quashing the criteria issued vide corrigendum dated 22.12.2009, whereby a cut off point for selection and appointment to the posts has been provided. According to the petitioner, this would deny him the right of consideration for appointment, though he is otherwise fully eligible. Similar issue in regard to power of the respondent-Board to fix criteria or challenge to CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.22590 OF 2010 :{ 2 }: the criteria on the ground of it being arbitrary and discriminatory arose before this Court in the case of Narender and others Vs. Haryana Staff Selection Commission, Panchkula (CWP No.8721 of 2011), decided on 14.7.2011. The challenge made on these grounds was negated in this writ petition. This Court in Civil Writ Petition No.7675 of 2010 (Ajay and others Vs. State of Haryana and another) decided on 22.3.2011 has upheld the power of the Board for formulate a criteria while resorting to the process of selection. There is, thus, no reason or occasion to interfere in the present writ petition. Following the ratio of law laid down in the above noted cases, the present writ petition is dismissed.
