LPA No. 1133 of 2011 Varun Malik …Appellant Versus State of Haryana and others …Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present: Mr. Sourabh Goel, Advocate, for the appellant(s). 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M. KUMAR, J. 1. This order shall dispose of LPA Nos. 1132 and 1133 of 2011 because both the appeals are directed against common judg- ment dated 25.3.2011, which has disposed of a number of other pe- titions. 2. As a matter of fact, this Bench has already dismissed an appeal against the impugned judgment and upheld the view taken by the learned Single Judge in the case of Ranbir Singh Kharab v. State of Haryana and others (LPA No. 1012 of 2011, decided on LPA Nos. 1132 & 1133 of 2011 2.6.2011). The same issue is sought to be raised again, namely, “whether Public Service Commission is within its right to hold a pre- liminary test with objective type multiple choice questions for short listing the candidates out of a large number applicants and include those marks in the marks for viva-voce”. The aforesaid question has been answered in the affirmative. 3. Having heard learned counsel, we are of the considered view that vide order dated 2.6.2011, the impugned judgment has already been upheld in the case of Ranbir Singh Kharab (supra) and the instant appeals have to be dismissed in terms of the aforesaid order. Accordingly, these appeals fail and the same are dismissed in terms of the judgment rendered by us in the case of Ranbir Singh Kharab (supra). 4. A photocopy of this order be placed on the file of connected ap- peal. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (GURDEV SINGH) July 8, 2011 JUDGE PKapoor 2
