IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.32 of 1994 Date of Decision : April 28, 2010. Jasdev Singh and another .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Ms.Alka Chatrath, Advocate, for the petitioners. Ms.Charu Tuli, Senior DAG, Punjab. -.- 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? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) This order shall dispose of Civil Writ Petition Nos.32 of 1994, 16759 of 1994 and 3701 of 1995 as common questions of law and facts are involved in these cases. For brevity, the facts are being extracted from Civil Writ Petition No.32 of 1994. The petitioners have impugned the selection and appointment of respondent Nos.4 & 5 to the posts of District Welfare Officers mainly on the ground that they did not possess the requisite experience in terms of the advertisement as on the cut-off date. C.W.P.No .32 of 1994 2 Though while admitting the writ petition, this Court had vide order dated 16.8.1994 stayed the appointment of respondent Nos.4 & 5 but the said interim order was later on modified on 21.9.1994 and a direction was issued that “in the meanwhile, the State of Punjab shall not terminate the services of respondent Nos.4 & 5”. The private respondents are accordingly continuing in service. In my considered view, it is too late to invalidate the appointment of respondent Nos.4 & 5 at this belated stage for want of requisite experience, when the deficiency, if any, has also been made good by them. The writ petitions stand dismissed but no order as to costs. April 28, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
