CWP-3891-2000 (O&M) -1- 209 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP-3891-2000 (O&M) Date of Decision: 24.04.2025 RAVI DUTT AND OTHERS ..... PETITIONERS VERSUS STATE OF HARYANA AND OTHERS ... RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE TRIBHUVAN DAHIYA Present: Mr. Sandeep Kumar Yadav, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Rohit Arya, DAG, Haryana. TRIBHUVAN DAHIYA, J. (ORAL) The petition has been filed inter alia seeking a writ of certiorari quashing the order, dated 28.02.2000, Annexure P-11, relieving the petitioners as part-time Water Carriers in the Schools under the respondent Department. 2. Learned State counsel contends that petitioners were appointed as Water Carriers for one and a half hour per day on DC rate/ daily wage, on year to year basis, and their services were terminated on 28.02.2003. Thereafter, the Department did not grant sanction for appointment of Water Carriers for the year 2003-04 because water facility had been provided in every school in terms of directions issued by this Court in CWP-3774-2000, obviating the need for appointment of part-time Water Carriers. Seema 2025.04.29 14:52 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CWP-3891-2000 (O&M) -2- 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners is not in a position to dispute any of the facts aforementioned, nor have the petitioners challenged their termination dated 28.02.2003. 4. It is, therefore, apparent that the petitioners’ services as part-time Water Carriers were terminated for a valid reason on 28.02.2003, which has not even been challenged by them. 5. Accordingly, finding no merit in the petition, it stands dismissed.
