CR No. 6493 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No. 6493 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: 21.10.2011 Kanshi Ram ...Petitioner Vs. State of Haryana & Ors. ...Respondents BEFORE: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE A.N.JINDAL Present: Mr.Sandeep Singal, Advocate, for the petitioner. --- A.N.Jindal, J. Plaintiff who is a sweeper filed a suit for declaration with consequential relief of permanent injunction that he being a Sweeper could not be deputed to work as Chowkidar Learned trial court, vide order dated 9.5.2011, (Annexure P.8) dismissed the application filed by the plaintiff/petitioner for ad- interim injunction restraining the respondents from deputing him as Chowkidar. Appeal against the said order preferred by the plaintiff/petitioner was also dismissed on 3.8.2011, (Annexure P.9). CR No. 6493 of 2011 2 Heard. Admittedly the petitioner has been appointed as Sweeper/Chowkidar in the Government School. Letters issued by the District Education Officer reveal that there is a combined post of Sweeper-cum-Chowkidar on which post the petitioner was appointed. There is no separate post of Chowkidar in the school. Many letters written by the petitioner (placed on the record) further indicate that the petitioner was considering himself as Sweeper-cum-Chowkidar for the last more than 25 years. In any case, with a view to better governance and in the administration of justice the petitioner could be deputed to do any kind of menial work. Balance of convenience and irreparable loss do not lie in favour of the petitioner. So also he has no prima facie case in his favour for issuance of ad-interim injunction. No grounds to interfere. Dismissed in limine. (A.N.Jindal) 21.10.2011 Judge rp
