3. The facts of the case are that one Rajeev Kumar had filed writ petition for quashing the final result dated 17th May, 2010 of the selection in relation to the post of Police Constable in Uttar Pradesh Police. The ground taken by Rajeev Kumar was rejected on the ground that he being a candidate of Other Backward Class has secured lessor marks than the minimum cut off marks fixed for the said category therefore no relief can be granted. Against the order of the writ Court, Special Appeal No.1120 of 2010 (Rajeev Kumar vs. State of U.P. & Ors.) was filed, which was disposed of vide order dated 03.08.2010 setting aside the order passed by learned Single Judge dated 05.07.2010 passed in Writ Petition No.38299 of 2010 and the matter being remitted to the Controller of Examination Recruitment U.P.

The Hon'ble Apex Court on 12.07.2013 dismissed the special leave to appeal filed by the State confirming the order passed by special appellate Court.
5. Pursuant to the judgment of Apex Court, the opposite party proceeded to decide the matter and duly constituted Selection Committee in which the present applicant was not selected due to the reason that last selected candidate under general category had secured 122.1855 marks while the applicant had secured 119.4297 marks in written examination. The matter relating to Rajeev Kumar was decided by U.P. Police Recruitment & Promotion Board, Lucknow on 24.02.2014, copy of which has been brought on record as Annexure 1 to the compliance affidavit filed by the State on 12.09.2022. The order passed by the opposite party on 24.02.2014 was challenged before this Court through bunch of petition, leading writ petition being Writ Petition No.43064 of 2014, which was dismissed vide order dated 24.03.2021. The said order was challenged in Special Appeal No.229 of 2021, which was also dismissed vide order dated 12.04.2022.
6. Sri Akash Khare, learned counsel appearing for the applicant submitted that the applicant belongs to general category and the consideration accorded by the opposite party on 24.02.2014 was in regard to OBC category and not to the general category. He further submitted that the order of the special appellant Court passed in case of Rajeev Kumar (supra) has already attained finality by the order of Apex Court dated 12.07.2013.
7. Per contra, Sri Rajiv Trivedi, learned Standing Counsel submitted that the order passed by special Appellate Court on 03.08.2010 having been affirmed by the Apex Court was reconsidered by the opposite party and a decision was taken on 24.02.2014, which was subjected to challenge before this Court through writ petition, which was dismissed. Thereafter, special appeal was also preferred which was also dismissed. He further invited the attention of the Court to para 6 of the compliance affidavit of the year 2022 wherein it has been stated that the applicant being a general category candidate had secured only 119.4297 marks which was less than the last selected candidate under the general category having secured 122.1855 marks.
8. After hearing counsel for the parties and perusal of record this Court finds that the order passed in case of Rajeev Kumar (supra) by the appellate Court on 03.08.2010 has been duly complied by the opposite party and consideration was accorded on 24.02.2014, which was subjected to challenge before this Court by filing of writ petition and special appeal.
