IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH L.P.A. No. 679 of 2011(O&M) Date of Decision : April 06, 2011 Varun Kumar ….Appellant Versus State of Haryana and another …. Respondents CORAM : HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE T.P.S. MANN Present : Mr. D.S. Bishnoi, Advocate for the appellant. 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? M.M. KUMAR, J. 1. The instant appeal under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against the judgment dated 4.1.2011 rendered by the learned Single Judge holding that the appellant was not entitled to stake claim to 20 posts of Inspector of Police (Male) for which advertisement was issued later on. It is appropriate to mention that the appellant had competed for 50 posts of Inspector of Police (Male) which were advertised earlier. On the ground that a waiting-list should have been prepared and the 20 posts advertised later on should have been made available for the wait-list candidates an argument has been raised that the appellant is entitled to be considered for L.P.A. No. 679 of 2011(O&M) -2- appointment against 20 posts which were advertised later on. Learned Single Judge has rightly repelled the aforesaid contention. If the appellant was keen to compete for the twenty posts advertised later on, there was no bar on him and he could have competed. Having failed to do so he cannot claim that these twenty posts should have been kept reserve for wait-list candidate which he seek that respondent should prepare. 2. Having heard the learned counsel, we find no ground to interfere with the view taken by the learned Single Judge. On first principle, the appellant has no right to be considered against the 20 posts advertised later on by suggesting that a waiting-list should have been prepared by the respondents. There is no merit in the appeal and the same is, hereby dismissed. 3. On account of the fact that the appeal has been dismissed on merits, we do not feel the necessity for passing any order on the application seeking condonation of delay of 41 days in filing of the appeal.
