IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. 10831 of 1990 Date of Decision : January 07, 2011 Dr. Basant Kumar ....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE T.P.S. MANN Present : Mr. N.P.Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. H.S.Deol, Additional Advocate General, Haryana T.P.S. MANN, J. (Oral) By way of the present writ petition filed under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner had prayed for issuance of a writ of certiorari for quashing and setting aside the order Annexure P-5 whereby he was denied the benefit of his previous ad hoc service and for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus for directing the respondents to count the service rendered by him on ad hoc basis for the purposes of increments, leave and fixing his pay besides other consequential benefits. Learned counsel for the petitioner, at the outset, has submitted that the case is covered by the decision delivered by this Court on 25.4.1990 in CWP No. 3774 of 1987 Mrs. Kiran Vashisht V State of Haryana and others. CWP 10831 of 1990 -2- Learned State counsel has not been able to distinguish the present case from the ratio in the case of Mrs. Kiran Vashisht (Supra). After going through the aforementioned judgment, I am of the view that the case of the petitioner is fully covered by the same. Accordingly, the petition is accepted, order Annexure P-5 is quashed and the respondents are directed to count the service rendered by the petitioner on ad hoc basis for the purposes of increment, leave and pay fixation besides paying him other consequential benefits arising therefrom. There would, however, be no order as to costs. ( T.P.S. MANN ) January 07, 2011 JUDGE ajay-1
