CWP(T) No. 2421 of 2008. 02.03.2009 Present: Ms. Archana Dutt, Advocate vice counsel for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General with Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Additional Advocate General and Mr. Vikas Rathore, Deputy Advocate General for the respondents. The petitioner has assailed Annexure P-M issued by the Director of Education, Himachal Pradesh. I have thoroughly gone through the contents of the same. It reveals that the appointment of petitioner in the year 1983-84 upto 3 June, 1986 was not in accordance with law. The post in question was to be filled up by way of promotion from amongst the Part-time contingent paid employees on the basis of seniority. The petitioner was appointed to the post of Part-time Contingent employee in the year 1986. Since the appointment of the petitioner was not in accordance with law from 1983 to 1986, he could not be granted seniority for this period. However, the seniority of the petitioner has been restored after 3rd June, 1986 by the Director of Education, Himachal Pradesh. Accordingly, in view of above observations, there is no force in this writ petition and the same is dismissed. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. March 02, 2009. (sck)
