Mr. Parveen Mehta, DAG, Haryana. 3K 2 3k TRIBHUVAN DAHIYA, J. (ORAL)
This petition has been filed inter alia seeking a direction to the respondents to allow the petitioners to join the post of Para-Teaching Associate (TGT Sanskrit/Hindi) on the basis of deployment offer letters, dated 30.11.2022, Annexure P-5.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that despite the deployment offer, the Department has not permitted the petitioners to join the post on account of changed criteria of eligibility. Since the criteria had been changed after deployment orders were issued, it would not have any application on the petitioners' case in terms of the law laid down by this Court, vide judgment dated 13.03.2023, rendered in CWP No.29118 of 2022 titled Sumitra Devi and others v. State of Haryana and others. He further contends that at this stage, the petitioners will be satisfied in case the fourth respondent is directed to consider and decide the petitioners' representations, dated 03.12.2022 and 15.12.2022, Annexure P-9 and P-10 respectively, in the light of law laid down in Sumitra Devi case (supra).
