fresh advertisement inviting fresh application for the post on
which appointment had already been made in their favour. They
were hence constrained to file the present two appeals before
this Court in which leave was granted, and vide order dated
21.03.2012 status quo was ordered. They have been teaching
since 2010-11, and there has been no break in their service.
Now, to bring their services to an end in term of the judgment of
the Punjab and Haryana High Court dated 08.01.2010, would
not only cause hardship to these appellants but we are also of a
considered view that under the facts of the case, which we have
discussed above, these appellants also have a special equity in
their favour. Moreover there is no dispute as to their
qualification, etc.
Under these circumstances, the interim orders dated 21.03.2012
passed in Ashu Chopra and Ors. and 13.12.2011 passed in
Rajesh Kumar and Ors. only for appellant Nos. 1 to 106, which
are orders for status quo, are made absolute, and these
appellants shall not be disturbed from their service. Their
appointment will be treated as an appointment made in accor-
dance with law.
