Mukesh Rani v. State Of Haryana & ORS

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA

AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.2521 of 2015 (O&M) Date of decision: 13.2.2015 Mukesh Rani ..... Petitioner

Versus

State of Haryana and others ......Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL

Present:

Mr. J.S. Dahiya, Advocate for the petitioner. RAJESH BINDAL, J The petitioner, who was working as Guest Teacher has filed the present petition impugning the communication dated 7.1.2015 (Annexure P12), vide which her services have been terminated on account of the fact that she did not possess requisite qualifications on the date of appointment. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that though on the date of appointment, the petitioner did not possess requisite qualification regarding subject combination, however, lateron she acquired that qualification and had been working for the last 4-5 years, hence, the petitioner is eligible and should be allowed to continue.

After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I do not find any merit in the submissions made.

In view of the statement made by learned counsel for the State that if the petitioner was eligible to be appointed as teacher at the relevant time, she would be allowed to continue till the regular appointment is made, Special Leave Petition (Civil) No.11077 of 2013, filed against the judgement of this Court in CWP No.3990 of 2012, was dismissed. Admittedly, on the date of appointment, the petitioner was not eligible for the post as she did not possess requisite qualification, hence, she cannot be allowed to continue in service. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed.

(RAJESH BINDAL) JUDGE 13.2.2015 sharmila SHARMILA 2015.02.16 18:03 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document.
