IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. L.P.A. No.128 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: 3.2.2010 Hawa Singh & others. -----Appellants Vs. Mehar Chand Premi & others. -----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH Present:- Mr. Sanjiv Bansal, Advocate for the appellants. ----- ORDER: 1. This appeal has been preferred against order of learned Single Judge, directing reformulation of seniority list after setting aside orders dated 24.1.2001 and 30.1.2001, whereby the writ petitioners were reverted in purported compliance of judgments of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Ajit Singh and others-II v. The State of Punjab and others AIR 1999 SC 3471 and Sube Singh Bahmani and others v. State of Haryana (1999) 8 SCC 213. 2. Grievance of the writ petitioners was that the judgments of the Hon’ble Supreme Court have not been properly applied. LPA No.128 of 2010 3. Learned Single Judge held that the matter may be reviewed by the State in the light of contentions raised by the parties. 4. Learned counsel for the appellants submits that there are certain observations in the impugned judgment which run counter to Division Bench judgment of this Court in Sadhu Singh v. Sate of Haryana 2001(2) SCT 417. 5. Without expressing any opinion on this aspect, at this stage, we only clarify that observations in the impugned judgment have been made in support of direction for re-determining the seniority after considering legal position. The competent authority will have to act according to legal position as laid down in all relevant judgments without observations in the impugned judgment being treated as conclusive. It is also made clear that any view which may be taken by the competent authority can be questioned by the aggrieved parties, if the same is against law. 6. In this view of the matter, we do not find any ground to interfere with the view taken by learned Single Judge. 7. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
