IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.4195 of 2011 Date of decision : 09.03.2011 Madan Lal … Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others …Respondents CORAM : HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI Present: Mr.ADS Ghuman, Advocate, for the petitioner. Permod Kohli, J. Notice of motion. Ms.Charu Tuli, Sr.DAG, Punjab has been asked to accept notice on behalf of respondents. Keeping in view the nature of controversy and relief claimed, this petition is being disposed of at the motion stage itself without insisting for the reply. Petitioner has passed two years Elementary Teacher Training Course from the Board of J&K State Board of School Education. Petitioner applied for the post of ETT teacher in response to the advertisement issued by the respondents. Petitioner was selected and appointed vide order dated 14.4.2008 (Annexure P-1). The grievance of the petitioner is that even though the petitioner stands appointed and has undergone the medical examination but she has not been permitted to join the service. The controversy involved in this petition is squarely covered by a judgment of this Court dated 16.7.2009 passed in CWP No.19735 of 2008 and other connected matters, wherein following observations have been made:- “Learned counsel for the respondents-State has pointed out that a decision has been taken on 31.3.2009 that Elementary Teachers Training Course passed from Jammu & Kashmir will be recognized in the State of Punjab only if the course is also recognized by the Jammu & Kashmir govt. In this regard, some CWP No.4195 of 2011 [2] of the candidates who had passed the course from the State of Jammu & Kashmir can be considered if the Institution from where they have passed, is duly approved by that Govt. The decision taken by the respondents on 31.3.2009 has been filed in Court which is taken on record.” Learned counsel for the petitioner states that in view of the decision dated 31.3.2009 taken by the respondents, no cause of action survives. In view of the above, this petition is, accordingly, allowed. Petitioner shall be entitled to the similar relief as granted in the aforesaid judgment. ( Permod Kohli ) Judge 09.03.2011 sd
