IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.20882 of 2011 Date of Decision : November 11, 2011. Madhu Panchal and others .....Petitioners versus State of Haryana and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Ram Pal Verma, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 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? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioners are alleged to have been deprived of appearing in the Haryana Teachers' Eligibility Test-2011 (for short the `HTET-2011') held on 5/6.11.2011, even though they claimed to have applied in time. The averments made in the writ petition show that on the official website of the respondents, the petitioners had noticed that no record relating to their applications was found. It was, thus, in their knowledge well before the examination held on 5/6.11.2011 that their applications were untraceable. The petitioners are said to have represented the authorities but thereafter sat at home. Meanwhile, the examination has been held. The petitioners now seek a mandamus that the entire CWP No.20882 of 2011 [2] examination be scrapped and a fresh examination be held. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners, I do not find any ground to grant the desired relief. Firstly, the petitioners themselves are responsible for the delay in approaching the court. Judicial notice of the fact that even on Saturday i.e. 5.11.2011, when the High Court was closed, the writ petitions were entertained and directions were issued to allow the candidates to appear in the examination scheduled to be held on the next day, can be taken at this stage. In these circumstances, the wrongful action of the respondents, if any, can at the best entitle the petitioners to claim damages before an appropriate forum,. With the observations afore-stated, the writ petition stands disposed of. Dasti. November 11, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
