SATISH KUMAR MITTAL, J. (Oral)

The petitioners, who are working as Firemen on contract basis
in Municipal Council, Bhiwani, have filed the instant petition for quashing
the advertisement dated 7.6.2008 (Annexure P2) issued by the Haryana
Staff Selection Commission for the appointment of 204 posts of Firemen in
Urban Local Bodies Department, Haryana.

Counsel for the petitioners argued that the State Government
has made a Policy, according to which, the endeavour is to be made to fill-
up all the posts, on which the employees are working on contract basis, on
regular basis after following the due procedure for regular appointments. It
has been observed that the present incumbents, who are working on work
charge basis, may also be considered for regular appointments.

Since the process of regular recruitment has been started, it will
be open for the petitioners to apply against the said advertisement.
Therefore, I do not find any ground to quash the impugned advertisement on
the basis of the aforesaid policy made by the State Government.

Dismissed.
