In view of the above provision, the vacancies meant for Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes could not have been de-reserved. There is no statutory provision or prohibition in respect of de-reservation of 02 posts of Physically Handicapped, Punjab; 03 posts of Ex-servicemen and 01 post of Sports person. Since only 27 General Category posts were advertised and stand filled up, the Petitioners cannot claim any right to seek appointment against the additional posts. Still further, in terms of the said Act, the vacancies so de-reserved are to be carried forward for future recruitment and, in fact, have been included in the subsequent selection process initiated in the year 2010. Therefore, three vacant de-reserved posts cannot be filled up from amongst the petitioners.
