RSA No.255 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. R.S.A. No. 255 of 2011 Date of Decision: 4 - 7 - 2011 Rita Kumari ....Appellant v. State of Haryana and others ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA *** Present: Mr.Baldev Singh, Advocate for the appellant. *** KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA (ORAL) Appellant-plaintiff having failed before both the Courts below, has filed the present regular second appeal. Appellant-plaintiff filed a suit seeking a declaration to the effect that she is entitled to remain in service of the respondents as a Guest Teacher and be treated in continuous service from the date of her initial appointment, along with consequential relief of permanent injunction restraining the respondent-defendants from illegally terminating her services as a Guest Teacher and engaging another person against a post occupied by the appellant-plaintiff. Briefly stated, the case of the appellant-plaintiff is that respondent-defendant No.3 held an interview on 15.11.2007. Appellant- RSA No.255 of 2011 [2] plaintiff participated in the interview. She was selected and placed at serial No.1 in the selection list. It is specifically pleaded that appellant-plaintiff also joined her duties on 15.11.2007. As per appellant-plaintiff in para 4 of the plaint, it is stated that State of Haryana stopped further appointments of Guest Teachers w.e.f. 16.11.2007. Respondent-defendants in the written statement filed admitted that the appellant-plaintiff was interviewed and was selected. However, they specifically denied issuance of any appointment letter to the appellant- plaintiff. It is further stated that since the interview was held on 15.11.2007 and on 16.11.2007 the Government of Haryana had ordered that no Guest Teacher be appointed and the appellant-plaintiff was not issued any appointment letter. Both the Courts below have given a concurrent finding of fact that no appointment letter was issued to the appellant-plaintiff and she had not joined the service. Counsel for the appellant-plaintiff has stated that substantial question of law which arises for consideration of this Court is that order of the Government that no Guest Teacher be appointed was issued on 16.11.2007 and same will not operate retrospectively and will not eclipse any selection made prior to 16.11.2007. Admittedly, in the present case interview was held on 15.11.2007 and the appellant-plaintiff was placed at serial No.1 in the selection list. Since no appointment letter has been issued and as per finding of fact, the appellant-plaintiff had not joined the service, no legal right vests in the appellant-plaintiff. Hence, this Court cannot come to the rescue of the appellant-plaintiff, as the judgments rendered by both the Courts below suffer from no legal infirmity. RSA No.255 of 2011 [3] Hence, the present appeal is dismissed. ( KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA ) July 4, 2011. JUDGE RC
