CWP No.14188 of 1989 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.14188 of 1989 DATE OF DECISION: March 16, 2011 SAT PAL SINGH AND OTHERS ...PETITIONERS VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB AND OTHERS ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K.KANNAN. 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgement? No 2. To be referred to the reporters or not? No 3. Whether the judgement should be reported in the digest? No ---- PRESENT: NONE FOR THE PETITIONERS. MS. REETA KOHLI, ADDL.A.G., PUNJAB. K.KANNAN, J.(ORAL) 1. There is no representation for the petitioners. The matter relates to the service conditions of petitioners who were appointed as Teachers/Masters on ad hoc basis and later on when they were regularized the petitioners have sought this writ petition for fixation of pay in the revised scale after counting the services rendered on ad hoc basis and for grant of proficiency step-up and payment of arrears accordingly. 2. The State represented through counsel has referred to the fact that as per the Punjab Educational Service Rules, Class III (School Cadre) will become applicable only in respect of persons who have fallen into the stream of the school cadre and they will be drawn on the cadre only on regularization. Ad hoc or temporary engagement will not entitle them to treat themselves as borne on the cadre. The contention, therefore, is that service rendered on ad hoc basis would not be required to be counted. CWP No.14188 of 1989 -2- 3. There is no rule of thumb that ad hoc service will always count for regular service for grant of ACP scales or for seniority. They shall be regulated through respective service rules governing the parties. Here the reference is to the education rules referred to above which makes possible the counting of service only for persons who were borne on cadre which would exclude persons who held ad hoc service. 4. The writ petitioners are not entitled to the relief as sought by them and the writ petition is dismissed. March 16, 2011 (K.KANNAN) Gulati JUDGE
