IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 18467 of 2010. [O&M] Date of Decision: 24th February, 2011. Munish Bhardwaj Petitioner through Mr. Rakesh Gupta, Advocate Versus State of Punjab & Ors. Respondents through Ms. Sudeepti Sharma, DAG, Punjab. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 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? SURYA KANT, J. [ORAL] The petitioner seeks a direction to consider him as a Sports category candidate for the purposes of recruitment to the Punjab Civil Services [Judicial Branch] pursuant to main examination held in the year 2010. The petitioner was not called for to appear in the main examination being lower in merit as a general category candidate. A Coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 11.10.2010 directed the respondents to allow the petitioner to take the main examination as an interim arrangement though his result was directed not to be declared. The petitioner appeared in the main examination pursuant to the above-stated direction, though his result was not declared. In order to find out as to whether the question raised by the petitioner has been rendered academic or deserves to be considered on merits, the confidential records were summoned. The Member Secretary of the Recruitment Committee has produced the same. The petitioner has unfortunately not been able to secure the minimum qualifying marks prescribed for the candidates in the reserved Sports category and as such the resolution of the issue raised here-in-above is an exercise in futility. For the reasons afore-stated, the writ petition is dismissed as having become infructuous. Dasti. February 24, 2011. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
