The<\/p>\n<p>petitioner applied for being appointed as Peon as he was fully<\/p>\n<p>qualified. Interviews for the post were held on 4.12.2004 in the office<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.9659 of 2007                  :2 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>of District Attorney, Yamuna Nagar. The selection list of the<\/p>\n<p>candidates was accordingly prepared. The petitioner claims to have<\/p>\n<p>been placed in merit over Gurmail Singh son of Sakru Ram and<\/p>\n<p>another candidate Sarwan Kumar son of Sona Ram. The petitioner<\/p>\n<p>was issued appointment letter on 8.12.2004.\n<\/p>\n<p>           Before appointment, he appeared before Civil Surgeon,<\/p>\n<p>Jind on 13.12.2004 for medical examination as first entry into the<\/p>\n<p>Government service. The medical certificate was accordingly issued<\/p>\n<p>to the petitioner on 13.12.2004. Though the petitioner claims that he<\/p>\n<p>had submitted his medical certificate on 13.12.2004, but in the reply,<\/p>\n<p>it is stated that the petitioner&#8217;s certificate was received on<\/p>\n<p>17.12.2004. Reply also shows that the medical fitness certificate of<\/p>\n<p>Sarwan Kumar was received on 17.12.2004 and the appointment<\/p>\n<p>letter was statedly issued to him on the same date. Gurmail Singh&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>medical examination letter was received on 8.12.2004 and he was<\/p>\n<p>also accordingly given the appointment.       The petitioner was not<\/p>\n<p>appointed on the ground that by the time his medical certificate was<\/p>\n<p>received, the general election for the State Assembly              was<\/p>\n<p>announced by the Election Commission and the model             code of<\/p>\n<p>conduct was imposed. After the election process, the proposal for<\/p>\n<p>issuance of appointment letter to the petitioner along with other<\/p>\n<p>candidates from other districts was put up on 25.7.2005, but the<\/p>\n<p>appointment letter still could not be issued to the petitioner by<\/p>\n<p>Director of Prosecution, Haryana, Panchkula. The blame is thereafter<\/p>\n<p>fastened on to the petitioner by saying that he made no efforts to<\/p>\n<p>seek appointment from the department after the election process was<\/p>\n<p>over till the time he made first effort by serving a legal notice on the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.9659 of 2007                 :3 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>respondents on 18.10.2006. Thus, the petitioner has been denied<\/p>\n<p>appointment after due selection on the ground that he could not be<\/p>\n<p>offered appointment in view of model code of conduct having taken<\/p>\n<p>effect.\n<\/p>\n<p>           Would this be a valid ground to deny appointment to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner, who is duly selected much before the election process or<\/p>\n<p>the elections were announced?. Mr.Rathee is very fair in stating that<\/p>\n<p>this court has already viewed that the model code of conduct could<\/p>\n<p>not be pressed into service to deny appointment to an individual.<\/p>\n<p>Reference can here be made to Rachna and others Vs. State of<\/p>\n<p>Haryana, 2007(3) RSJ 93, wherein after making reference to two<\/p>\n<p>others Division Bench judgments in CWP No.833 of 2005 titled<\/p>\n<p>Sarita Vs. State of Haryana,      decided on 21.1.2005 and CWP<\/p>\n<p>No.1621 of 2005, titled Renuka Wadhwa Vs. State of Haryana and<\/p>\n<p>others, decided on 14.2.2005, it is observed that the Election Model<\/p>\n<p>Code of Conduct could not stand as embargo with respect to the<\/p>\n<p>appointment of the persons, who have been duly selected by the<\/p>\n<p>Commission. Even otherwise, model code of conduct may not have a<\/p>\n<p>statutory force as such. It is a code which is formulated to be<\/p>\n<p>followed by conclave of the political parties upon agreement. The<\/p>\n<p>selection process, which was initiated much prior to the issuance of<\/p>\n<p>election process and was finalised much before the announcement of<\/p>\n<p>the elections, bringing in force the model code of conduct would have<\/p>\n<p>no effect on the selection so made.\n<\/p>\n<p>           There is obviously some delay on the part of the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>to make the approach for seeking appointment. Obligation was of the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.9659 of 2007                  :4 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>respondents to call the petitioner once he had submitted his joining<\/p>\n<p>report to either deny him or to appoint him. The petitioner may have<\/p>\n<p>been waiting for a call. Merely because he has delayed in<\/p>\n<p>approaching the respondents would not be a ground to defeat his<\/p>\n<p>right which has accrued to him after his selection. Delay on his part<\/p>\n<p>to seek enforcement of his right cannot be a ground to deny him his<\/p>\n<p>right altogether. The persons, who were less meritorious than the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner, were appointed but the petitioner was denied this<\/p>\n<p>appointment only because of delay in receipt of the medical<\/p>\n<p>examination of the petitioner. To deny appointment to the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>under such circumstances as urged by the respondents would be<\/p>\n<p>highly unfair and unjust.\n<\/p>\n<p>           Accordingly, the prayer made by the petitioner is<\/p>\n<p>accepted. The writ petition is allowed. The directions are issued to<\/p>\n<p>the respondents to offer appointment to the petitioner, especially so<\/p>\n<p>when in the additional affidavit now filed by the respondents, it is<\/p>\n<p>clearly disclosed that they have kept one post of Peon reserved in<\/p>\n<p>the department in view of the pendency of the writ petition. This is<\/p>\n<p>done to ensure that the necessary action can be taken as per the<\/p>\n<p>directions issued by this court. Let the petitioner be offered<\/p>\n<p>appointment against this vacancy if he is considered otherwise<\/p>\n<p>eligible for appointment on the date of selection. Keeping in view the<\/p>\n<p>delay on the part of the petitioner to make this approach for<\/p>\n<p>appointment, it would be fair to balance the equity and to allow him<\/p>\n<p>back wages from the period from October 2006, when he issued a<\/p>\n<p>legal notice to the respondents for the first time. Petitioner, however,<\/p>\n<p>will be assigned seniority from the date candidates less meritorious<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.9659 of 2007               :5 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>were appointed. He will get the continuity of service from the said<\/p>\n<p>date, but will get back wages from November first, 2006. Let the<\/p>\n<p>necessary exercise be completed within a period of two months from<\/p>\n<p>the date of receipt of copy of this order.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<pre>November 03, 2009                            ( RANJIT SINGH )\nramesh                                            JUDGE\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Mandeep Sharma vs The State Of Haryana &amp;
