Instant writ petition has been filed under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India seeking issuance of writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing the order dated 03.01.2025 (P-8) passed by respondent No.4 vide which petitioners have been relieved without appreciating the provisions of Haryana Contractual Employees (Security of Service) Ordinance dated 14.08.2024 (P-5) issued by respondent-State.

2.

Learned counsel for the petitioners prays that present petition be disposed of in terms of judgment passed by this Court in CWP-7437-2025 titled as 'Renu and others vs. State of Haryana and others', decided on 24.12.2025 wherein similar issue has been adjudicated. 3.

Learned State counsel undertakes that the impugned relieving order by which the services of the petitioners was dispensed with shall be withdrawn and they will be allowed to continue till a fresh decision is taken. It

The impugned relieving order is hereby set aside, and till a fresh decision is taken, the services of the petitioners shall not be dispensed with, and wherever the petitioners have not been permitted to rejoin duties, they shall be taken back forthwith so that their humble means of livelihood are not imperilled and the sustenance of their families are preserved. 5.

In case the petitioners have not submitted any representation so far to the State Government or the concerned Head of the Department, the present writ petition shall be treated as representation, and the case shall be decided afresh after taking into account the pleas raised therein, in accordance with law.

The respondents shall, with due regard to the dignity of the petitioners and the governing statutory framework, reconsider the case, and pass reasoned orders strictly in accordance with law, in both its letter and spirit, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

Until such fresh orders are passed, the continuity of service of the petitioners shall remain undisturbed.
