DATE OF DECISION: 6.3.2009 Sukhwinder Kaur and another ...Petitioners VERSUS State of Punjab & Others …Respondents CORAM HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI PRESENT: Mr.Vipin Mahajan, Advocate for the petitioners Ms.Charu Tuli, Sr. DAG, Punjab for respondents no.1& 2 Mr.P.S.Khurana, Advocate for respondents no.3, 5, 18, 23, 24, 29, 30 & 31. Mr.R.S.Randhawa, Advocate for respondent no.27 Permod Kohli, J. (Oral) The selection of the private respondents has been challenged primarily on the ground that their certificates were not in proper form as per the proforma appended with the Reservation Rules. The reference is made to Certificates placed on record as Annexure P-14 which are said to have been obtained under the Rights to Information Act. Based upon these certificates, it is contended that the private respondents had not disclosed whether they belong to the creamy layer or otherwise. On that basis, the respondents were directed vide order dated 20.11.2008 to produce the CWP NO.18769 OF 2006 2 record i.e. certificates of private respondents. Mr. Khurana, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent no.3-Zila Parishad, Ludhiana has produced the relevant record. I have gone through the record at random and I find the relevant certificates in accordance with the proforma appended with the reservation rules which also indicates the income of the candidates/family and also that they do not belong to the excluded classes of the Other Backward Class Category. The respondents have also filed reply and it is specifically stated that on scrutiny the certificates of the private respondents were not found in order and accordingly letters were written to all the candidates to produce the certificates in the prescribed proforma and these certificates were also got verified. In view of the record and the reply filed by the respondents, the allegations are not found to be correct. The petitioners were also considered alongwith the private respondents and on account of higher merit of the private respondents, they have been selected. I find no merit in this writ petition which is accordingly dismissed. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 6.3.2009 MFK NOTE:Whether to be reported or not:NO
