IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 18684 of 2009 Date of Decision: February 1, 2010 Manjit Singh and another …Petitioners Versus Union of India and others …Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. Yogesh, Advocate, for Mr. Anish Babbar, Advocate, for the petitioners. 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M. KUMAR, J. The instant petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution is directed against the order dated 12.1.2007 (P-1), passed by the Central Ad- ministrative Tribunal, Chandigarh Bench, Chandigarh, in O.A. No. 1118/CH/2003. The petitioners were appointed as Surveyor Assistant Grade-II on 18.4.1984 and 11.4.1984 respectively. They had the necessary qualification of Diploma in Civil Engineering. For further appointment to the post of Surveyor Assistant Grade-I, they were required to pass intermedi- ate examination of Building and Quantity Surveying (Sub Division-II) of In- stitution of Surveyors (India). They passed the aforesaid examination in the year 1988. They were given promotion as Surveyor Assistant Grade-I in the year 1991 against the vacancies which had arisen up to December 1990. They approached the Tribunal in the year 2003 with the grievance that they C.W.P. No. 18684 of 2009 deserve to be promoted with effect from 1988 and persons junior to them were promoted in the year 1987. The Tribunal has non-suited the petitioners firstly on the ground that the Original Application filed before the Tribunal was hopelessly time barred. Even on merit, the Tribunal has found that the petitioners were far below in seniority and could not be promoted for want of adequate number of vacancies on that account and that they were rightly pro- moted in the year 1991. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners, we do not find any ground to interfere with the order passed by the Tribunal. The writ peti- tion is wholly misconceived. Dismissed. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) February 1, 2010 JUDGE Pkapoor 2
