IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP. No. 515 of 2010 Date of Decision: 14.1.2010. Murli Dhar Pandey and another --Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and others --Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI. Present:- Mr. Devender Punia, Advocate for the petitioners. *** PERMOD KOHLI.J (ORAL) Petitioners no.1 and 2 are presently working as Sanskrit Teachers in Govt. High School, Chanaut, Distt. Hisar and Govt. High School, Bhandari, District Panipat respectively. They claim to be senior most teachers in their respective schools. Director, Secondary Education, Haryana had issued letter dated 14.1.2008, circulated to all the District Education Officers, wherein it was mentioned that the language teachers, whose educational qualifications are equivalent to that of the masters and are senior most may be appointed as Head Master/Incharge, if, the posts are available. On the basis of the aforesaid letter the petitioners claim that they are entitled to be given the current duty charge of the post of Head Master. The aforesaid communication is now sought to be re-considered vide letter dated 17.12.2008 (Annexure P-3). The grievance of the petitioners is that in view of the communication Annexure P-3 the Govt. has neither re- considered the earlier decision vide Annexure P-2, nor the same is being implemented and thus the petitioners have not been granted the current duty charge. CWP. No. 515 of 2010 -2- Suffice it to say that Annexure P-2 was only a communication from the Director, Secondary Education, Haryana, who has issued subsequent letter Annexure P-3 to reconsider the decision. Respondents are well within their right to examine the earlier decision in accordance with law. The petitioners have no vested right to ask for the current duty charge. I find no merit in this petition, which is accordingly dismissed. It is, however, observed that respondents shall take a decision and formulate a fair and rational policy for the purpose. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 14.1.2010. lucky
