IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH L.P.A. No. 1764 of 2010 Date of Decision : April 26, 2011 Manphool Singh ....Appellant Versus State of Haryana and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE T.P.S.MANN Present : Mr. S.S.Godara, 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. This appeal under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against the judgment dated 19.1.2010 rendered by the learned Single Judge holding that in pursuance of directions issued by a Division Bench on 10.3.1997 and 17.4.1998, the appellant was permitted to continue to work on 89 days' on contract basis subject to the condition that they would leave room for the persons, who might be appointed on regular basis. The learned Single Judge has further held that regular selection was made pursuant to the advertisement and vide communication dated 11.6.1998 (P-6), the District Education Officer, Jind (Jhajjar) was asked to adjust the selectees first against the vacancies occupied by 89 days' appointees and if there were still vacancies then LPA No. 742 of 2011 -2- they were to be filled up from the ad hoc appointees without relieving them. 2. Mr. Godara, learned counsel for the appellant has argued that the members belonging to reserved categories of Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes are entitled to be appointed even on ad hoc basis in view of the Government instructions issued by the respondent-State. The aforesaid argument raised before the learned Single Judge was rejected on the short ground that once the Division Bench issued directions on 17.4.1998 and those directions having attained finality, it would not lie in the mouth of the appellant now to place reliance on any such instructions. We find no ground to admit the appeal because the directions issued by the Division Bench of this Court on 11.3.1997 have attained finality. The appeal, accordingly, fails and the same is dismissed.
