IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.4093 of 2006 Date of Decision: 17.3.2008 Jaswant Singh and others Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and others Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K.C.PURI Present: Shri Punit Gupta, Advocate with Shri Alok Jain, Advocate for the petitioners Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) By filing this writ petition, the petitioners have prayed that a writ petition of certiorari be issued to quash order dated 19.12.2007 (P/5), vide which their prayer to give them preference on account of their experience, with regard to selection to the post of conductor, was rejected. It is apparent from the records that the respondents have advertised posts of conductors vide advertisement (P2/A). Admittedly, the petitioners applied and then appeared for the test also, in response to above said advertisement. It is their case that at one time, in the year 1994, they were given some ticketing agency on contract basis. They hold licence of a conductor. They have acquired experience in the profession of issuing tickets, as such, preference be given to them. Earlier also, they came to this Court. Their writ petition was disposed of on 21.8.2007, directing the Civil Writ Petition No.4093 of 2008 respondents to decide their pending legal notice, which has now been rejected vide order under challenge. It is admitted before us that as per rules governing the service of conductors, there is no provision on the basis of which, benefit / preference can be given towards experience gained while working on contract basis. In view of facts mentioned above, we feel that order (P/5) is perfectly justified. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed. (Jasbir Singh) Judge March 17, 2008 (K.C. Puri) gk Judge 2
