IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No.13226 of 2009 DATE OF DECISION: AUGUST 27, 2009 Umesh Rathi and others .....PETITIONERS Versus Haryana Staff Selection Commission, Panchkula and others ....RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL --- Present: Mr.S.S. Duhan, Advocate, for the petitioners. .. SATISH KUMAR MITTAL, J. (Oral) The petitioners, who are working as Firemen on contract basis in Municipal Council, Bhiwani, have filed the instant petition for quashing the advertisement dated 7.6.2008 (Annexure P2) issued by the Haryana Staff Selection Commission for the appointment of 204 posts of Firemen in Urban Local Bodies Department, Haryana. Counsel for the petitioners argued that the State Government has made a Policy, according to which, the endeavour is to be made to fill- up all the posts, on which the employees are working on contract basis, on regular basis after following the due procedure for regular appointments. It has been observed that the present incumbents, who are working on work charge basis, may also be considered for regular appointments. Since the process of regular recruitment has been started, it will be open for the petitioners to apply against the said advertisement. Therefore, I do not find any ground to quash the impugned advertisement on the basis of the aforesaid policy made by the State Government. Dismissed. August 27, 2009 (SATISH KUMAR MITTAL) vkg JUDGE
