Respondents. ………………… Sri Vikas Pande, learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri H.M. Raturi, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. Date: May 07, 2008. Hon’ble P.C. Verma,J. By means of this petition, the petitioner has challenged the orders dated 08.11.2001 and 09.11.2001 passed by the respondent Nos. 1 & 2 respectively, by which the selection of the petitioner was cancelled. 2. An interview was held by the respondent No.2/Principal, Rashtriya Inter college, Bhalshwagaz, Haridwar for Class IV post on 05.10.2001. In the selection, the petitioner was selected and he joined his duty on the same day. On 08.11.2001 the respondent No.1/District Inspector of Schools, Haridwar informed the respondent No.2/Principal of the college that the appointment of the petitioner is invalid because the State Government imposed the ban on fresh recruitment against the vacancies. In pursuance of the said letter of respondent No.1, the Principal, Rashtriya Inter college, Bhalshwagaz, Haridwar terminated the services of the petitioner without giving him the salary for the period in which he had already worked. Aggrieved with this, the petitioner has preferred this petition for quashing of the impugned orders. 3. The respondent No.1 contended that ban was imposed by the State Government on recruitment of fresh appointment against the vacancy and the Principal /respondent No.2 could not have made the appointment during the period when the ban is imposed. The appointment of the petitioner is illegal. 4. Since the appointment of the petitioner has been made when the ban on fresh recruitment was imposed, he has no right to continue on the post. There is no illegality or perversity in the impugned orders. 5. The petition has no force and is dismissed. However, it is provided that petitioner shall be paid salary for the period during which he has actually worked in the College on Class- IV post. (P.C. Verma, J.) 07.05.2008 P.Singh
