No. 1308 of 2009 DATE OF DECISION: August 06, 2009 Ramandeep Kaur and Another .........PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab and Others ......RESPONDENT(S) CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA Present: Mr. Vivek Sharma, Advocate, for Mr. Mohd. Yousaf, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. B.S. Chahal, DAG, Punjab. AJAI LAMBA, J. (ORAL) Petitioner no. 1 Ramamdeep Kaur had been teaching History as a Lecturer and petitioner no. 2 Abihineet Kaur Kaur had been teaching Punjab in the same capacity. The petitioners have approached this Court seeking directions to the respondents not to dispense with the services of the petitioners and to allow them to continue as guest faculty. The prayer is confined only in this regard and learned counsel for the petitioners does not press the prayer for grant of minimum of pay scale permissible to a Lecturer. In consideration of the claim pressed on behalf of the petitioners, learned counsel for the respondent-State, on instructions from Prof. Ranjit Singh, Government College for Girls, Patiala, states that Ramandeep Kaur can be adjusted immediately in so much as there is work load in the college for teaching History and, therefore, cause of action does not survive in C.W.P. No. 1308 of 2009 -2- regard to the claim of petitioner no. 1. In regard to the claim of petitioner no. 2, it is stated that as and when a Lecturer in Punjabi is required, the petitioner would be considered first. Considering the stand of the respondents, which I find to be fair, no cause of action survives and the petition is accordingly disposed of. 06.08.2009 (AJAI LAMBA) shivani JUDGE 1.
