DINESH 2025.05.29 12:19 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document LPA-1601-2025 (O&M) and LPA-1592-2025 (O&M) p. 2 Main cases 1. Both the connected LPAs are being decided by this common order as issue involved in both the LPAs is similar. 2. Learned counsel for appellants fairly states that the issue involved in this present LPAs stands decided by this Court vide order dated 12.05.2025 in LPA-1402-2025 titled as Preeti Malik and Another Vs. State of Haryana and others whereby this Court while dismissing the said LPA, has held as under:- “5 Learned Single Judge has dismissed the petition, holding that such candidates to be beyond the number of posts and so far as 178 candidates, in our view, are a separate class carved out in a review petition. A scene of approval to the proposal of the State Government to treat such 178 candidates who already stood appointed as a separate class was given in a review order dated 03.07.2023. 6. We are of the firm view that we cannot interfere in the order passed by the Supreme Court. The exercise stands completed and closed after the final order dated 03.07.2023 passed in the review petition. The claim of the appellants solely on the basis that they are more meritorious than such 178 persons, is found to be without basis as the said 178 persons form a separate class as recognized by the Supreme Court. No place of discrimination or violation of Article 14 of Constitution is thus, made out. The writ petition has been rightly dismissed. 7. The present appeal also stands dismissed.” 3. In view thereto, we also dismiss the present LPAs mutatis mutandis in terms of the order dated 12.05.2025 passed by this Court in LPA-1402-2025 and connected cases.
