Petitioner VERSUS Punjab State Agricultural Marketing Board and others ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Ms. Shikha Sharma, Advocate, for Mr. Vikas Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. None for the respondents. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (Oral) The present writ petition was filed by petitioner Chander Bhan on the ground that he was promoted to the post of Auction Recorder but not given benefit of reservation which was due to Scheduled Castes' category candidate. The stand of the Respondent-Board is that the petitioner was directly recruited as Auction Recorder w.e.f. 10.10.1986 against the post which was not meant for Scheduled Castes candidate. Therefore, he cannot claim benefit of reservation once he was directly recruited. It is the further stand of the respondent-Board that 50% posts of Auction Recorders are to be filled up by direct appointment or 50% by way of promotion from the cadre of Clerks and others, who had got experience of five years. CWP No.3451 of 1989 -2- This Court need not to go into the controversy as during the pendency of the writ petition, petitioner has expired on 14.4.1999. It is well settled principle of law that a person who has not worked on the higher post is not entitled to financial benefit as principle of no work no pay is to apply. Therefore, legal heirs are not entitled to any financial benefits. Thus no relief, which has financial implication, can be granted to the legal heirs of the petitioner. Thus, the present writ petition is disposed of with the aforesaid observations. (KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA) 29-06-2010 JUDGE manju
