JUSTICE K. KANNAN ---- Civil Writ Petition No.1858 of 1989 (O&M) - 2 - Present: Mr. Vijay Pal, Advocate, for Mr. Deepak Agnihotri, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Satbir Singh Goripuria, DAG, Haryana. ---- 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? No. 2. To be referred to the reporters or not ? No. 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest ? No. ---- K.Kannan, J. (Oral) 1. Of the above writ petitions, the prayer in CWP Nos.3091 and 1858 of 1989 relate to selection of Physical Training Instructors and in CWP No.1887 of 1989 relates to appointment of Arts and Crafts teachers. The selection, which was sought to be made, was stayed by this Court at the time of admission. The petitioners appear to have been in adhoc service and they sought through an interim order stay of termination. The Court has granted interim stay and I must observe that it is not possible for me to discern how the stay operated in a case where the relief was against selection of certain school staff. If the selection has been made already pursuant to the advertisement, understanding the stay to be operative against termination of the petitioners' services, nothing is required to be done. If, on the other hand, the stay order was understood as staying the process of selection, the same shall stand vacated and it shall be open to the authorities to fill-up the post in the manner that the Rules would provide for such filling up. The actual status of the petitioners is not known although I had directed at the previous hearing to elicit Civil Writ Petition No.1858 of 1989 (O&M) - 3 - whether the petitioners are still in service and whether the stay operated against such termination. 2. All the writ petitions are disposed of in the light of the observations made above. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE 22.09.2011 sanjeev
