IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CWP No.17959 of 2007 Date of Decision: 18.1.2008. Ram Kumar ............. Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others. ..............Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH. Present:- Mr.Hari Om Attri, Advocate for the petitioner. ***** JASBIR SINGH, J.(ORAL) Petitioner possesses the qualification of B.Ed. with Sanskrit. He is a candidate for the post of Sanskrit Teacher, advertised by the respondents vide advertisement dated 20.7.2006. Admittedly for the post in question the requisite qualification is Shastri/ B.A. (Honours in Sanskrit). Petitioner has not been called for interview. It is his prayer that as he possesses higher qualification, than the prescribed qualification, he be called for interview. It was brought to our notice that similar controversy came up before this Court in CWP No. 10926 of 2007, Ashok Kumar and others v. State of Haryana and others, decided on 21.12.2007 and similarly situated persons were held entitled for consideration for appointment to the post of Sanskrit Teacher. After going through the judgment referred to above, we feel that the controversy is squarely covered by the ratio of judgment in Ashok Kumar's case (supra). In view of this, we dispose of this writ petition in same terms as in that case. (Jasbir Singh) Judge 18.1.2008 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
