Civil Writ Petition No. 11482 of 1988 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, at Chandigarh. Civil Writ Petition No. 11482 of 1988 Date of Decision: 17.12.2008 Parveen Kumar Gupta …Petitioner Versus Haryana State Electronics Development Corporation Limited and Others …Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. Present: Mr. Arvind Seth, Advocate for Mr. Deepak Agnihotri, Advocate for the petitioner. None for the respondents. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) The present writ petition was filed by Parveen Kumar Gupta, Technical Manager of Haryana State Electronics Development Corporation Limited, Chandigarh (hereinafter referred to as “the Corporation”) with a prayer that respondents be directed to fill up the post of Senior Technical Manager by way of promotion from the Technical Managers working in the Corporation. It was further prayed that operation of advertisement issued by the Corporation on 4.11.1988 calling for application to fill up the post of Senior Technical Manager, be set aside. Admittedly, no order of stay was passed by this Court. Therefore, in pursuance of advertisement issued in 1988 selection Civil Writ Petition No. 11482 of 1988 2 procedure must have been carried and a selectee ought to have been appointed. It has been averred in the writ petition that respondent No.3 was appointed as Technical Manager and he was granted more pay. Since the prayer was confined in the writ petition that no person should be appointed Senior Technical Manager directly in pursuance of advertisement and the post be filled up through the Technical Managers available, I am of the view that this prayer cannot be entertained. No rules have been placed on record to say that this post is to be filled up by promotion alone. Therefore, there is no merit in the present writ petition and the same is dismissed.
