CWP No. 17466 of 2006 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP NO. 17466 of 2006 DATE OF DECISION : 6.11.2006 Balbir Singh ......PETITIONER VERSUS Union of India and another ......RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI PRESENT: Mr. HS Batth, Advocate for petitioner. M.M.KUMAR,J. The prayer made by the petitioner is for issuance of a direction to the respondents to keep the advertisement issued on 17.12.2004 alive by taking the interview of the petitioner as he had applied for the post of Dak Pal in Village Majra , Tehsil Narnaul District Hissar. It is the admitted position that the aforementioned advertisement was cancelled and the post has been readvertised on 8.6.2006. In reply to the legal notice, respondent No.2 has categorically asserted that the petitioner had applied against the first advertisement in respect of a vacancy reserved for a Scheduled Caste category and he fulfilled all the qualifications. However, no interview was held and the advertisement issued on 17.12.2004 was cancelled. It has further been informed to the petitioner that the vacancy was again CWP No. 17466 of 2006 2 readvertised on 8.6.2006 and none of the applicant was selected. In view of the above, we do not find any room for issuance of any direction to the respondents to conduct the interview for the post of Dakpal by accepting the application sent by the petitioner in response to the first advertisement. Admittedly, the post has been readvertised on 8.6.2006 and the selection process has already been under taken, in which no one has been selected. The writ petition is wholly misconceived and the same is accordingly dismissed. ( M.M.KUMAR ) JUDGE November 6 ,2006 ( M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
