Versus

State of Haryana and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI Present:- Mr. R.K. Chaudhary, Advocate and Mr. Pankaj Dhingra, Advocate, for the petitioner. **** HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI , J. (ORAL) In the present writ petition, the grievance which is being raised by the petitioner is that he was senior to one Sh. Rajbir Singh in the cadre of Master, hence he is entitled for the step up of his pay equivalent to Sh. Rajbir Singh.

Counsel for the petitioner states that Sh. Rajbir Singh was promoted as a Lecturer in History prior to the petitioner on the basis of reservation. Counsel further states that Sh. Rajbir Singh was promoted on 07.05.1992, whereas the petitioner, who though was senior to Sh. Rajbir Singh, was actually promoted as a Lecturer on 01.12.2007. Counsel for the petitioner further argues that once the petitioner had caught Sh. Rajbir Singh in the cadre of lecturer on 01.12.2007, he again regains the seniority over and above Sh. Rajbir Singh and therefore, will be entitled to step up of his pay in terms of the NARESH KUMAR 2019.07.24 11:58 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh
