CWP-8892-2025 1 112 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP-8892-2025 Date of Decision: 09.07.2025 GEETA DEVI ......... Petitioner Versus STATE OF HARYANA AND OTHERS ..... Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JAGMOHAN BANSAL Present : Mr. Krishan M. Vohra, Advocate and Mr. Sandeep Kumar Sirswa, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Raman Sharma, Addl. AG, Haryana. **** JAGMOHAN BANSAL , J. (Oral) 1. The petitioner through instant petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India is seeking direction to respondent to permit her to rejoin on the post of Data Entry Operator. 2. The petitioner got herself registered on the portal of Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam Limited (for short ‘HKRNL’). She received deployment letter dated 10.10.2023 (Annexure P-1). Her place of posting was Hisar and her post was Data Entry Operator. She joined as per appointment letter, however, her services were dispensed with on 31.12.2023. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that respondent has arbitrarily and whimsically dispensed with services of the petitioner. She served legal notice (Annexure P-3) upon HKRNL which rejected claim of petitioner vide communication dated 18.11.2024 (Annexure P- Asgar Ali 2025.07.09 18:03 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CWP-8892-2025 2 4). She has served another request letter upon respondent to permit her to join as Data Entry Operator. 4. From the perusal of record, it is evident that as per Deployment of Contractual Persons Policy, 2022, the petitioner was deployed by HKRNL. The tenure of the contract was from 06.11.2023 to 31.12.2023. The indenting department did not further avail services of HKRNL. As term of the contract expired, the petitioner was relieved. HKRNL has not claimed in its reply that petitioner would not be re-deployed, however, as per reply, petitioner would be deployed as and when there is requisition by indenting department. The petitioner was deployed as contractual employee. She has no fundamental or vested right to claim appointment. 5. The Court is sanguine of the fact that HKRNL would deploy petitioner as per its policy under applicable Rules and Regulations. 6. Dismissed.
