PETITIONERS Versus Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee, Chandigarh and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present: Mr. R.S. Bajaj, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. H.S. Sethi, Advocate, for the respondents. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral ) The petitioners, who are working on various posts on contract basis in the respondent Committee, have filed the instant petition for issuing direction to the respondents not to replace them by making fresh appointment on contract basis. In the written statement, filed on behalf of the respondents, it has been stated that all the petitioners, except petitioner No.4 Surinder Kaur, have been given fresh appointment on contract basis and they have accepted their fresh contract appointment. As far as petitioner No.4, who is working on the post of Clerk, is concerned, it has been stated that she has not been given fresh appointment, because as per the new rules, she does not possess CWP No. 14476 of 2009 -2- the essential qualification i.e. Graduation, for the post of Clerk. In view of the aforesaid stand taken by the respondents, this petition qua the petitioners, except petitioner No.4, has become infructuous. Since petitioner No.4 is not qualified as per the new Rules for being appointed as Clerk, she has no right to be considered for fresh contract appointment. Dismissed as infructuous.
