IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.405 of 2007 Date of Decision: 2.5.2008 Balkar Singh Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K.C.PURI Present: Shri I.D.Singla, Advocate for the petitioner Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) By filing this writ petition the petitioner has laid challenge to the order dated 15.5.2003 (P/5), vide which his claim to regularize him in service, was rejected. Upon notice, reply has been filed wherein, it has been stated that the petitioner does not fulfil qualification for appointment against the post of Water Pump Operator. It has further been stated that the instructions, on the basis of which, the petitioner is seeking his regularisation in service, have been withdrawn by the State of Haryana, in view of the verdict of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Secretary, State of Karnataka and others v. Umadevi and others, 2006(4) SCC 1. Counsel for the parties heard. It is apparent from the records that to deny benefit of regularisation to the petitioner, the competent authority, in the impugned order, has specifically noted that as the petitioner does not fulfil the requisite qualification for the post of Water Pump Operator, he cannot be regularized against the above said post. Be that as it may, after the verdict of Civil Writ Petition No.405 of 2007 the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Umadevi’s case (supra), the instructions, on the basis of which, the petitioner was claiming relief, were withdrawn by the State of Haryana. In view of this, no relief can be granted in favour of the petitioner. Dismissed. (Jasbir Singh) Judge May 02, 2008 (K.C. Puri) gk Judge 2
