IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH L.P.A. No. 219 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: February 7, 2011 Sunder Singh …Appellant Versus The Director General of Police, Haryana and others …Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. N.S. Shekhawat, Advocate, for the appellant. 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the Judgment should be reported in the Digest M.M. KUMAR, J. 1. The instant appeal under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against judgment dated 10.9.2010 passed by the learned Single Judge rejecting the claim made by the petitioner-appellant that he was selected for appointment to the post of Constable and even was sent for medical examination where he was declared fit (P-2). His name was also sent to the District Magistrate for character verification but he was not given appointment and feeling aggrieved he filed a petition in 1993. The learned Single Judge has held that merely because character verification was done or he was medically found fit, would not confer any indefeasible right on the petitioner- appellant to a public post. Moreover, the select list prepared in the year 1992 would not remain alive for such a long period and by L.P.A. No. 219 of 2011 (O&M) afflux of time the petitioner-appellant himself would have become totally ineligible for appointment on various grounds including on account of his age. 2. Having heard learned counsel we are of the considered view that the selection does not confer any indefeasible right on a candidate to seek appointment. In that regard reliance may be placed on the celebrated judgment of Hon’ble the Supreme Court rendered in the case of State of Haryana v. Subash Chander Marwaha, 1973 (2) SLR 137. There is, thus, no merit in the appeal warranting its admission. The same is accordingly dismissed. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (JASWANT SINGH) February 7, 2011 JUDGE PKapoor 2
