I have sent for the file and in that it is seen that writ petition was disposed of, as being was the same as in CWP No.4119 of 1988. I called for the said file as well and noticed that the proceedings which have been challenged in the writ petition was the very same proceeding of the State Government providing for a cut-off period for persons, who claimed higher scales of pay for improvement in the educational qualifications while holding various posts as Teachers in the school.

CWP No.4119 of 1988 stated above has been dismissed by this Court on 02.05.2007 upholding the impugned notifications in terms of the Division Bench ruling of this Court in “The State of Punjab and others v. Joga Singh and others, 1996(2) RSJ 738”. The Court had reproduced the directions of the Division Bench to hold that the circular dated 19.02.1979 was in accordance with law and there was no merit in the challenges. Yet another Division Bench of this Court is also reported to have upheld the notifications and disposed of the challenge in “Mangat Ram and others v. The State of Haryana and another, 1996(2) RSJ 365”. 3. The writ petition is also dismissed in terms of the above judgment. August 04, 2011 ( K. KANNAN ) Rajan JUDGE
