COCP No. 1416 of 2009 1 In the High Court for the States of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh … COCP No. 1416 of 2009 Date of decision: August , 2009 Gurbachan Singh son of Charan Singh ..Petitioner. Versus Shri B.Prusharath and another ..Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rakesh Kumar Garg Present: Mr. Sudeep Mahajan, Advocate for the petitioner. ,,, Rakesh Kumar Garg,J. As per the averments made in this petition, petitioner filed CWP No.20461 of2008 sought for directing the respondents to consider the petitioner to adjust him on a suitable post as per the qualifications of the petitioner in reserve quota for handicapped or general category by considering his experience as Instructor in the Electronics Trade in the Community Polytechnic Wing, in Polytechnic College, Batala, District Gurdaspur. The aforesaid writ petition was disposed of by this court vide order dated 4.12.2008 directing the Director, Technical Education and Industrial Training, Punjab, Chandigarh to decide the legal notice of the petitioner attached as Annexure P-4 with the writ petition within a period of six months from the date of receipt of certified copy of the aforesaid order. According to the petitioner, the respondent No.2 vide his communication dated 20.5.2004 wrote to the Principal Secretary to Government of Punjab,Department of Technical Education and Industrial Training that the employee had no right to get adjustment on the basis of working in a temporary scheme and therefore, the legal notice should be disposed of with the approval of the competent authority. It is the further case of the petitioner that the Government vide its letter dated 17.6.2009(Annexure P-5), granted the approval COCP No. 1416 of 2009 2 to adjust the petitioner against any Class III or Class IV vacant post in Technical Education Department and the Director/respondent No.1 was advised to take next action. However, according to the petitioner, the respondent is not giving him the appointment and therefore, is liable to be punished for contempt of this court. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have also perused the record of the contempt petition. Vide Annexure P-2, the direction was given by this court to decide the legal notice of the petitioner which was attached as Annexure P-4 with the writ petition. It is petitioner's own case that respondent No.2 vide Annexure P-4 dated 20.5.2009 had stated that an employee cannot be adjusted on the basis of working in a temporary scheme and had requested the competent authority i.e., Principal Secretary to Government Punjab, Department of Technical Education and Industrial Training, Punjab, Chandigarh to dispose of the legal notice issued by the petitioner. That being so, I find no merit in the contention of the petitioner that the legal notice of the petitioner has not been disposed of and therefore, the respondents have committed a contempt of this Court. Vide Annexure P-4, the Additional Director had clearly stated that the petitioner has no right to be adjusted on the basis of working in a temporary scheme and accordingly requested the competent authority to dispose of the legal notice as per advice. Thus, I find no merit in this petition. Dismissed. However, , it will be open to the petitioner to seek an appropriate remedy for redressal of his grievance elsewhere.
