O R A L J U D G M E N T (Per Smt.Vasanti A Naik, J.)
By this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a direction
against the respondents to complete the selection process for
recruitment of posts as per the advertisement No.1/2005. According to
2710WP6354.05-Judgment 2/2
the petitioner the petitioner ought to have been appointed on a post
earmarked for the project affected persons as his name was
recommended by the competent authority.
The relief sought by the petitioner cannot be granted in
the circumstances of the case. The petitioner could not have sought a
direct appointment on the post that was earmarked for the project
affected persons as it is well settled by the law laid down by the Full
Bench of this court that even a project affected person would be
required to compete along with the other project affected persons when
a post is advertised and a project affected person cannot seek a direct
appointment without competing in the selection process after issuance
of an advertisement. It is further necessary to note that in view of the
interim order, the petitioner was permitted to participate in the
selection process, but the petitioner could not succeed and was not
selected for appointment.
In this view of the matter, the writ petition is dismissed
with no order as to costs. Rule stands discharged.
