IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.12612 of 2011 Surender Kumar ...Petitioner Versus Haryana Public Service Commission, Panchkula ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr.Atul Kaushik, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. Respondent-Commission advertised 1317 posts of temporary Lecturers (School Cadre) on 18.6.2009. On 30.4.2010, a corrigendum was published extending the last date of receipt of application forms to 31.5.2010. The documents of the petitioner were accepted for scrutiny. A Screening Committee was constituted for the purpose. The candidature of the petitioner was put on hold on the ground that the petitioner was not having the requisite qualification by the cut off date. The petitioner also appeared before the committee. Ultimately, however, he is held not eligible as not having the requisite qualification by the cut off date. The petitioner, in fact, has been issued a certificate on 25.6.2010, whereas the eligibility was to be seen as on 1.4.2010. The Civil Writ Petition No.12612 of 2011 :2: petitioner suffered primarily on the ground that he could not clear one paper of the course for which he appeared on 26.3.2010. Prayer is that his result be related back to the date of original result and on that count the petitioner would be eligible by the cut off date. Mere appearing in the examination or even declaration of result cannot mean that the petitioner is qualified. It is the certificate, which is material, which was certainly issued to the petitioner after the cut off date. I do not find any justifiable reason to interfere in the view formed by the respondents. No case for interference, therefore, is made out. Dismissed. July 20, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
