IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. NO. 6325 OF 2007 Date of Decision: May 17, 2007 Ashok Kumar Vohra and others …Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and others …Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. G.C. Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioners. JUDGMENT M. M. KUMAR, J . (Oral) The petitioners have approached this Court by filing instant petition under Article 226 of the Constitution seeking quashing of order dated 17.1.2007 (P-3) whereby their claim for promotion to the post of Inspectors/Senior Assistants has been rejected. A further prayer has been made to direct the respondents to promote the petitioners as Inspectors/Senior Assistants with all consequential benefits, against the available vacant posts w.e.f. the C.W.P. No. 6325 of 2007 date from which their juniors have been promoted as such. It is an admitted position that no person junior to the petitioners has been considered and promoted to the post of Inspector/Senior Assistant from the post of Clerk. Merely because the vacancies are available would not confer any right on the petitioners to seek a direction from this Court to consider their cases for promotion. There is no merit in the petition. Dismissed. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (RAJESH BINDAL) May 17, 2007 JUDGE Pkapoor 2
