IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH 114 CWP-24506-2025 Date of Decision: 04.09.2025 Sachin …Petitioner(s) Versus State of Haryana and others …Respondent(s) CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE TRIBHUVAN DAHIYA Present:- Mr. Vikrant Koundal, Advocate for Mr. Mazlish Khan, Advocate for the petitioner TRIBHUVAN DAHIYA, J. (Oral) The petition has been filed inter alia seeking a writ of certiorari quashing the final result and waiting list dated 19.12.2019 and 13.01.2020, Annexures P-6 and P-7 respectively, for the post of Laboratory Technician, pursuant to advertisement 02/2019 by excluding marks under the socio-economic criteria and experience given to the candidates. 2. The prayer is based on the premise that the marks could not have been awarded as the criteria has been declared unconstitutional by the Division Bench vide judgment dated 22.05.2025, rendered in CWP-16904-2021 titled Neeraj v. State of Haryana and another, and connected matters. Apparently, the selection in question stands finalised much prior to declaration of law by this Court, which cannot have any retrospective effect. 3. Accordingly, there is no ground to entertain the petition, and it stands dismissed in limine.
