IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP NO. 18858 of 2006 DATE OF DECISION: 30.11.2006 Jagdish Kaur and others ....Petitioners. Versus State of Punjab and another ....Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE J.S. KHEHAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.D. ANAND PRESENT: Mr. M.L. Sachdeva, Advocate for the petitioners. J.S. Khehar, J. (oral) All the six petitioners herein are Headmistresses. They claim promotion to the post of Principal. Their claim for promotion is primarily based on the fact, that respondents No.3 to 7 have been promoted as such. In fact, respondents No.3 to 7 belong to a different category, namely, Headmasters' cadre. Headmistresses' cadre and the Headmasters' cadre are statutorily different from one another and there cannot be any comparison between the two, nor is there a common seniority. In view of the above, merely because respondents No.3 to 7 have been promoted as Principal, the petitioners cannot claim promotion to the post of Principal. Dismissed. ( J.S. Khehar ) Judge ( S.D. Anand ) November 30, 2006. Judge vig
