CWP No.11353 of 1988 -1- IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.11353 of 1988 Date of Decision: 16.12.2011 U.P.S Sinha (deceased) through LRs and others ...Petitioners Versus The State of Haryana and another ..Respondents CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice K. Kannan Present: Mr. Vijaypal, Advocate for Mr. Deepak Agnihotri, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. O.P. Sharma, Addl. Advocate General, Haryana for the respondents. K.Kannan, J. The issue involved in the writ petition is as to whether ad hoc service will also count for seniority. The case can only be considered favourably if ad hoc service itself is a method of recruitment permitted under the rules in initial appointment. Otherwise the vitiation in ad hoc posts cannot count for seniority. This aspect has been considered by a Full Bench of this Court in Chambel Singh Vs. State of Haryana ILR (1995) 1 P&H 75 and a Division Bench judgment of this Court in Rakesh Miglani v. State of Haryana, PLR (1994) 108 P&H 576. I had also sought a direction to the petitioner to produce the recruitment rules to elicit information if the CWP No.11353 of 1988 -2- initial appointment on ad hoc basis was as per rules. No further details are available. The relief sought for by the petitioner cannot be obtained in their favour. The writ petition is consequently dismissed. ( K. Kannan ) 16.12.2011 Judge Meenu
