IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.8579 of 2008 Date of Decision: 21.5.2008 Ranjeet Singh and another Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and others Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K.C.PURI Present: Shri Satish Chaudhary, Advocate for the petitioners Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) Notice of motion. Shri Harish Rathee, Sr. D.A.G. Haryana accepts notice. Petitioners are regular class-IV employees of the respondents. On account of issuance of letter dated 17.4.2008, by District Education Officer, Yamuna Nagar to all Block Education Officers and all Principals/ Headmasters in the above said district, to terminate services of class-IV employees, on the ground that at the time when they were taken in service, the selection process was not proper, the petitioners are apprehending that their service will be terminated. Above said letter has been passed on the basis of some enquiry conducted by the Vigilance department. Counsel for the petitioners states that in the so called enquiry, the petitioners were never associated. It is further stated that the petitioners are regular employees of the State of Haryana and if the respondents wish to dismiss them from service, it can be done only by holding a departmental enquiry, as envisaged under the service rules. Counsel further submits that case of the petitioner is squarely covered by ratio of a Division Bench judgment of this Court in Sheela Devi v. State of Haryana and others (CWP Civil Writ Petition No.8579 of 2008 No.5770 of 2008), decided on 7.4.2008, wherein directions were issued to the authorities to take action as per service rules. Shri Rathee has failed to show anything to the contrary. In view facts, mentioned above, we dispose of this writ petition in the same terms as in Sheela Devi’s case (supra). Copy of the order be given dasti on payment of usual charges. (Jasbir Singh) Judge May 21, 2008 (K.C. Puri) gk Judge 2
