IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 24190 of 2011 Date of decision : 22.12.2011 Nisha Rani ....Petitioner V/s State of Punjab and others ....Respondents BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Ashish Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) The petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of mandamus for directing the respondents to allow her to join as a Volunteer in Government Primary School, Kudo Patti being the most eligible candidate. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that despite recommendation of Deputy Commissioner and DEO, petitioner has not been appointed. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Admittedly, the post is of Volunteer under a scheme known as Village Education Development Scheme. There is nothing to show that post of Volunteer is a civil post and the scheme under which volunteer are being recruited is amenable to writ jurisdiction. The recommendation made by Deputy Commissioner and DEO can be of no avail as the same are not in the nature of directions. No rules have been referred to show that appointment to the post of Volunteer is governed by any rules. In view of above, there is no merit in the petition. Dismissed.
