IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Date of Decision : 27.08.2010 COCP No.1684 of 2010 Sunil Kumar ...Petitioner Versus Ms. Surina Rajan, IAS and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present : Mr. M.K.Sangwan, Advocate, for the petitioner. HEMANT GUPTA, J. (Oral) On 27.08.2009, the writ petition filed by the petitioner was dismissed as infructuous, when it was stated in the reply that the name of the petitioner is at merit No.296 of the General Category and that the appointments shall be made by the Education Department as per the Government instructions. Though in para No.8 of the contempt petition, the petitioner has stated that the person lower in merit to the petitioner has been appointed, but the petitioner has not given any name or the date on which any person lower in merit has been appointed. Even if, any person lower in merit has been appointed, it will furnish a cause to the petitioner to challenge the appointment of such candidate, but it cannot be said that the order passed on 27.08.2010 discloses any civil contempt. In view of the above, the present contempt petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to take recourse to the remedy as may be available to him in accordance with law. 27.08.2010 (HEMANT GUPTA) Vimal JUDGE
