This petition has been filed for a direction to give<\/p>\n<p>appointment letters to the petitioners on the basis of their<\/p>\n<p>selection on 22.5.1999 to the posts of Patwaris.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.        Case of the petitioners is that on 7.9.1997, an<\/p>\n<p>advertisement was issued for filling up 1055 posts of Patwaris<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> CWP No.16605 of 1999                                       2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>by the Haryana Staff Selection Commission. Written test was<\/p>\n<p>held on 29.11.1998, which was followed by interview between<\/p>\n<p>8.4.1999 to 20.4.1999. Result was announced on 22.5.1999.<\/p>\n<p>1055 candidates were selected. 288 candidates have joined as<\/p>\n<p>petitioners in this petition. It is stated that there are other<\/p>\n<p>petitions also by some of the candidates. After selection, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners were not given appointments. The petitioners<\/p>\n<p>served a legal notice dated 18.10.1999 but no reply was<\/p>\n<p>received. The present petition was filed in this Court in<\/p>\n<p>November 1999.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.          Contention raised in the petition is that the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners having been duly selected, have acquired a right to<\/p>\n<p>appointment.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.          In the written statement filed by the State, the<\/p>\n<p>petition has been opposed by submitting that no right of<\/p>\n<p>appointment accrues merely on selection. Due to increased<\/p>\n<p>expenditure liability on account of pay revision and other<\/p>\n<p>factors, there was rise in fiscal deficit of the State and the<\/p>\n<p>Government had taken a decision not to offer appointments to<\/p>\n<p>selected candidates.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\"> CWP No.16605 of 1999                                           3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>5.          In a further affidavit filed on 23.8.2001, it is stated<\/p>\n<p>that 1248 posts of Patwaris were advertised earlier and there<\/p>\n<p>was stay against appointments beyond 1248 advertised posts.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.          When a bunch of petitions came up for hearing<\/p>\n<p>earlier on August 2, 2005, the same were dismissed. Earlier,<\/p>\n<p>vide order dated 23.5.2000, the present writ petition was<\/p>\n<p>allowed on the ground of reasonable expectation of selected<\/p>\n<p>candidates to get appointment and a direction was issued to<\/p>\n<p>depute the petitioners for training in batches. However, on<\/p>\n<p>appeal, the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court vide its judgment dated<\/p>\n<p>9.2.2001 in Civil Appeal No.1197 of 2001 <a href=\"\/doc\/698113\/\">(State of Haryana<\/p>\n<p>and others v. Jai Bhagwan Sharma and others<\/a>), set aside<\/p>\n<p>the order of this Court and remanded the matter for a fresh<\/p>\n<p>decision. Thereafter, the writ petitiosn were dismissed on<\/p>\n<p>2.8.2005. It was, however, made clear that candidates who had<\/p>\n<p>appeared, will be entitled to appear in fresh selection subject to<\/p>\n<p>eligibility and the Government will relax the condition of<\/p>\n<p>eligibility with regard to age. Against the said judgment, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners approached the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court and their<\/p>\n<p>appeal was heard with the appeal of candidates selected on<\/p>\n<p>earlier occasion, which selections were quashed. The Hon&#8217;ble<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> CWP No.16605 of 1999                                           4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Supreme Court set aside judgment of the High Court and<\/p>\n<p>remanded the matter without any discussion on the case of the<\/p>\n<p>present petitioners. The matter of other set of candidates<\/p>\n<p>selected in selections held in the year 1992 has been disposed<\/p>\n<p>of by a separate judgment today in CWP No.11526 of 1994<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/doc\/1672572\/\">(Rajpal Singh and others v.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that<\/p>\n<p>the petitioners having been duly selected, were entitled to be<\/p>\n<p>appointed. Reliance has been placed on judgment dated<\/p>\n<p>7.2.2007 of the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court in State of Punajb<\/p>\n<p>and others v. Harcharan Singh and others, Civil Appeal<\/p>\n<p>No.3521 of 2006, judgment of this Court dated 31.1.2007 in<\/p>\n<p>Davender Kumar and others v.

Rakesh Kumar,<\/p>\n<p>2004(1) SCT 34.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.          Learned counsel for the State submitted that the<\/p>\n<p>State had financial difficulty in appointing the petitioners but it<\/p>\n<p>has no objection to eligibility of the selected candidates being<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> CWP No.16605 of 1999                                           5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>relaxed with regard to the age in the fresh selections as and<\/p>\n<p>when held.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.          The question whether mere selection confers a right<\/p>\n<p>to be appointed, is well settled. Mere selection does not confer<\/p>\n<p>any right of appointment. Reference may be made to the law<\/p>\n<p>laid down by the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court in <a href=\"\/doc\/183960\/\">State of UP v.<\/p>\n<p>Rajkumar Sharma,<\/a> (2006) 3 SCC 330, wherein it was<\/p>\n<p>observed:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                       &#8220;14.

Mere inclusion of candidate&#8217;s<br \/>\n                name in the list does not confer any right to be<br \/>\n                selected, even if some of the vacancies remained<br \/>\n                unfilled and the candidates concerned cannot claim<br \/>\n                that they have been given a hostile discrimination.<br \/>\n                <a href=\"\/doc\/982107\/\">(See Shankarsan Dash v.

No doubt, no public authority can act arbitrarily and<\/p>\n<p>every decision has to be fair and reasonable, Mere change of<\/p>\n<p>Government may not by itself be a valid ground to with-hold<\/p>\n<p>appointments of selected candidates, who may have been<\/p>\n<p>lawfully selected.\n<\/p>\n<p>12.         The question is whether a mandamus ban be issued<\/p>\n<p>at this stage for appointing the petitioners.\n<\/p>\n<p>13.         We are of the view that having regard to long time<\/p>\n<p>which has elapsed since the selection of the petitioners i.e.<\/p>\n<p>about 10 years and the settled law that the petitioners do not<\/p>\n<p>have any indefeasible right to appointment merely on the basis<\/p>\n<p>of selection, no case is made out for issuance of mandamus for<\/p>\n<p>appointment of the petitioners. The judgments relied upon<\/p>\n<p>being on individual facts are distinguishable. However, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners having been once selected and having regard to the<\/p>\n<p>stand taken by the learned counsel for the State, we direct that<\/p>\n<p>the petitioners be given relaxation in eligibility as and when<\/p>\n<p>fresh selections for the said posts are made.<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> CWP No.16605 of 1999                                        7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>14.
