JUSTICE HARPREET SINGH BRAR Present : Mr. Gurpreet Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Naveen Singh Panwar, DAG Haryana. **** HARPREET SINGH BRAR , J. (Oral) 1. This Civil Writ Petition is being filed under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India for the issuance of an appropriate writ, order or direction, particularly a writ in the nature of Mandamus, directing the respondents to regularize the services of the petitioner in terms of the Haryana Government Regularization Policy dated 18.06.2014 (Annexure P-5), as upheld by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Madan Singh & Ors. v. State of Haryana, Civil Appeal No.2031 of 2024; to extend to the petitioner the benefit of the judgment dated 25.05.2026 passed by this Court in CWP PARUL VERMA 2026.07.21 10:26 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment. 2 CWP-21812-2026 No. 5686 of 2016 titled Sukhvinder Singh & Ors. v. State of Haryana & Anr. (Annexure P-6); to grant all consequential service benefits, including pay fixation, seniority, continuity of service and retiral benefits; and further to direct the respondents to consider and decide the claim of the petitioner within a time frame as may be fixed by this Court. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner, inter alia, contends that the petitioner was appointed as Master/Mistress (Science) (Guest Teacher) through a departmental selection process on 19.10.2006 and has been continuously serving ever since. Having completed the requisite qualifying service, the petitioner is fully covered under the Haryana Government Regularization Policy dated 18.06.2014. It is contended that the validity of the said Policy has been upheld by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Madan Singh & Ors. v. State of Haryana, Civil Appeal No.2031 of 2024 and that similarly situated Guest Teachers have already been granted the benefit of regularization by this Court in Sukhvinder Singh & Ors. v. State of Haryana & Anr. (CWP No. 5686 of 2016, decided on 25.05.2026). Despite submitting a representation dated 02.07.2026, the respondents have failed to consider the petitioner's claim. Such action is stated to be arbitrary and discriminatory, being contrary to Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India as well as the law laid down in State of U.P. v. Arvind Kumar Srivastava, (2015) 1 SCC 347. PARUL VERMA 2026.07.21 10:26 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment. 3 CWP-21812-2026 2. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner confines the prayer to the limited extent that the petitioner would be satisfied if her representation dated 02.07.2026 (Annexure P-7) is decided by respondent No.2/ competent authority in the light of judgment rendered by Hon’ble Supreme Court in Madan Singh (supra) and Jaggo v. Union of India and Others, Civil Appeal No. 14831 of 2024, decided on 20.12.2024 and also judgment rendred by this Court in Sukhvinder Singh (supra) by passing a speaking order within a time-bound period. 3. Learned State counsel, appearing on advanced notice, submits that he has no objection in case a direction is issued to the respondent No.2/competent authority for time-bound consideration and decision of the representation dated 02.07.2026 (Annexure P-7) of the petitioner by passing a speaking order. 4. Therefore, in view of the limited prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioner, the respondent No.2/competent authority is directed to consider and decide the representation dated 02.07.2026 (Annexure P-7) of the petitioner in the light of aforesaid judgment(s) and pass a speaking order, after affording her an opportunity to be heard, within a period of 02 months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order.
