the consent of the parties, the petition is taken
up for final hearing.
3. Mr.Shermale, learned counsel for the
petitioner states that the petition is filed
against the order dated 16.6.2015, stating that
the petitioner is not entitled for the
reservation of 5% in Sports category for the post
of Sub-Inspector as per the Government Resolution
dated 20.9.2013. The petitioner is not qualified
for the post of B category. The learned counsel
submits that the petitioner is duly selected for
the post of Sub-Inspector by following due
procedure of law.
4. Earlier the candidature of the
petitioner was rejected on the ground that the
certificate issued to the petitioner is prior to
the issuance of Government Resolution. This
Court had set aside the said order and held that
the said Government Resolution would apply with
retrospective effect. Now it is rejected on the
ground that the candidates who participated in
the tournament conducted by the Association of
Indian Universities are qualified for the post of
C and D category and not for B category.
Learned counsel submits that the Respondents have
issued Government Resolution on 1.7.2016 stating
that the sports Mallakhamb is brought in category
B of Indian Universities level. As such the
petitioner would be entitled for the benefit of
said Government Resolution. The petitioner has
secured second position in the tournament
conducted at the All India Universities Level in
Mallakhamb.
5. Learned A.G.P. states that on the
relevant date, the petitioner was not eligible.
The benefit of the Government Resolution dated
1.7.2016 would not be available to the
petitioner.
6. We have considered the submissions.
This Court while interpreting the Government
Resolution dated 20.9.2013, has held that the
same applies even for the participation in the
tournaments conducted prior to issuance of the
Government Resolution.
7.
Vide Government Resolution dated
1.7.2016, the tournaments conducted at All India
Inter-Universities Level is brought in category
B. The condition is that the person representing
the University should stand in first, second or
third position. The certificate produced shows
participation of the petitioner in Mallakhamb
sports recognised by the said Government
Resolution at All India Universities Competition.
The petitioner would be entitled for the benefit
of the Government Resolution dated 1.7.2016.
8. Considering above, the impugned order
is quashed and set aside and the certificate of
the petitioner shall be considered afresh
considering the petitioner's participation in
Mallakhamb sports at All India Universities Level
in category B.
9. Rule accordingly made absolute in above
terms. No costs.
