State Of Haryana And Ors. Etc. Etc vs Piara Singh And Ors. Etc. Etc on 12 August, 1992
Unfortunately, the third
respondent played into the hands of the
petitioners and deployed them overlooking the
seniority of others included in the annual rank
list. Having secured deployment through dubious
means, the petitioners have no vestige of right
to claim continuance, by keeping away the
rightful claimants. Even though I find
substantial merit in the contention of the
learned Counsel for the third respondent that the
petitioners are guilty of suppression of material
facts, I refrain from imposing cost on the
W.P.(C) No.4413 of 2022

petitioners for the sole reason that they had, at
one point of time, protected our country.
Needless to say that Piara Singh (supra) has
absolutely no application as far as the
petitioners are concerned. The decision of the
Board of Directors of the third respondent to
withdraw the petitioners and replace them with
persons included in the annual rank list in
accordance with the procedure prescribed in
Ext.R3(z), is well founded and therefore, warrant
no interference.
