IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.15614 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision : 19.01.2010 Nirmal Chand and others .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Dinesh Kumar Nagar, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioners impugns the advertisement dated 23.9.2009 (Annexure P-1) issued for recruitment of various teaching posts in the Education Department, Punjab. Their grievance pertains to the `criteria for selection' which contains weightage for higher qualifications. While the advertisement prescribes the weightage of 6 marks for Post Graduation, 6 marks for M.Phil, 10 marks for Ph.D., the petitioners want that weightage- marks for the post-graduation should be further bifurcated on the basis of divisions secured by the candidates. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner for some time, I do not find any ground to interfere with the impugned advertisement for C.W.P.No .15614 of 2009 (O&M) 2 the reason that there is no statutory rule or executive instructions obligating the respondents to bifurcate the marks for weightage in sub- categories based upon the percentage of the marks secured by a candidate in the post graduation. Dismissed. 19-01-2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
