IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH LPA No. 1350 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision: 18.08.2010 Jagdish Kumar …Appellant Versus Registrar (General), Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh and others …Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE RITU BAHRI Present: Mr. Jagjit Gill, Advocate for petitioner. 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M. KUMAR, J. 1. The instant appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against the judgment dated 10.7.2009, rendered by the learned Single Judge holding that the petitioner-appellant, who was working as Driver on contractual basis, was also a candidate when the regular recruitment was made. His candidature was considered during the selection process and he could not be found up to the mark. The learned Single Judge has held that merely because the petitioner-appellant feels that he has a better merit, he cannot be granted appointment. The aforesaid function is entrusted to the Selection Committee and the Courts cannot substitute by LPA No. 1350 of 2009 (O&M) -2- becoming an appellate forum. The view of the learned Single Judge is un- exceptionable and does not call for interference. There is no room to entertain the appeal. Dismissed. 2. In view of the fact that the appeal has been dismissed on merit, we do not feel the necessity of passing any order on the miscellaneous applications filed along with the appeal. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (RITU BAHRI) August 16, 2010 JUDGE Pkapoor
