C.W.P. No.21449 of 2008 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No.21449 of 2008 Date of Decision:22.12.2008 Ameen Kumar ............... Petitioner Versus Haryana Staff Selection Commission and Ors ............Respondents CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present: Mr. S.P. Chahar, Advocate for the petitioners. 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? M.M. KUMAR J. **** This petition has been filed under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India praying for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari quashing the impugned action of the respondents vide which the petitioner has not been selected on the post of Auction Recorder being ESM candidate although the marks obtained by the petitioner are more than the last candidate selected in ESM category and a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to appoint the petitioner on the above mentioned post along with service benefits. It is not disputed that the petitioner belongs to the category of ESM, as is evident from the perusal of Eligibility Certificate (P-3). However, his case in the writ petition is that a candidate belonging to ESM category has been selected who have obtained the less marks than the petitioner. So it is obvious that the petitioner cannot be equated with the candidate of ESM category and therefore, cannot claim any right on that C.W.P. No.21449 of 2008 -2- basis. This writ petition is wholly without merit. Dismissed. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (K. KANNAN) JUDGE December 22, 2008 Pankaj*
