CWP No.12005 of 1990 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.12005 of 1990 (O&M) Date of Decision: 18.05.2011 Mrs. Amarjit Kaur ... Petitioner Versus Guru Nanak National College for Women, Nakodar, Jalandhar ... Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present: Mr. Anupam Bansal, Advocate for Mr. Ashu M. Punchhi, Advocate the petitioner. Mr. K.S. Sivia, DAG, Punjab, for respondent No.2. None for respondents No.1 and 3. ***** 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? K. KANNAN, J. (Oral) 1. The writ petition challenges the selection process set in motion by the Management of the College on the basis that petitioner had worked at different periods during temporary vacancies of other Lecturers and in terms of Section 2-A of the Punjab Affiliated Colleges (Security of Service Teachers)Act, 1974, she was entitled to priority in consideration. 2. It is an admitted position that she did not serve as Lecturer subsequent to 22.08.1990. I will not find any purpose in examining the suitability of the petitioner as a candidate after two decades. If I have failed to address the grievance of the petitioner, it is not because the petitioner was not CWP No.12005 of 1990 (O&M) -2- entitled for consideration but it is not appropriate to examine the issue of suitability after such a length of time. It is rather a decision on exigencies of what is not possible to grant at this length of time than the rejection of her claim on merits. 3. The petition is, therefore, dismissed since I find that the relief cannot granted especially when she did not continue in service beyond 22.08.1990. MAY 18, 2011 ( K. KANNAN ) Rajan JUDGE
