IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH CWP No. 1597 of 2010 Date of decision February 1 , 2010 Sangram Singh ....... Petitioner Versus Municipal Council Kartarpur through its E.O. Municipal Council, Kartarpur District Jalandhar. ........ Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. ADS Ghuman, Advocate for the petitioner. **** K. Kannan, J (oral). 1. On a writ petition filed earlier bearing CWP No.2543 of 2008 that petitioner who had been wait listed was not considered for the post of fireman, this Hon'ble Court had directed that such a representation may be given to the respondents which would be considered within a period of two months. On a notice issued by the petitioner for consideration of candidature of the petitioner, the response has been that a person by name Baldev Singh selected in the category of ex-serviceman had not joined duty and the post is still lying vacant under the ex-serviceman category. The petitioner is not a candidate belonging to ex-serviceman. According to Municipal Committee the post is to be advertised afresh for filling up the post. In this case, there is no attempt for forfeiting an appointment to a particular category even though there is a candidate available. There is no right for a person who was wait listed in a general category to be considered against the post that was being left unfilled in a reserved category. The rejection of his request by a reply is on a valid basis and there is no enforceable right for the petitioner to seek for redressal of his grievance through a writ petition. 2. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE February 1 , 2010 archana
