~~~~~~

Nagaresh, J.

These review petitions are filed against the

common judgment in W.A. Nos.2495/2018, 33/2019,

35/2019, 40/2019, 42/2019 and 43/2019.

2. The writ petitions from which the afore writ

appeals arise, were filed by candidates who had applied for

selection to the post of Assistant Professor in Management

Studies and Research in the Aligarh Muslim University,

Malapuram Centre, challenging the selection conducted by

the University. The learned Single Judge, who heard the RP.736/2019 & connected cases

writ petitions, set aside the selection and directed that a

fresh selection be conducted within a period of two months.

The Aligarh Muslim University and the selected candidates

filed the writ appeals challenging the judgment of the

learned Single Judge.

3. In the writ appeals, this Court noted that the UGC

Regulations, 2010, are applicable to the process of selection

and the only question to be determined is whether there has

been compliance with the stipulations contained in the UGC

Regulations. Taking into consideration the relevant

Regulations as well as the Appendix 3, Table-II(c), this

Court found that in the selection process, for academic

records and research performance 50% marks/points is

contemplated, for assessment of domain knowledge and

teaching skills 30% is contemplated and for interview

performance 20% is contemplated. This Court noted that in

the selection process in question, the Selection Committee

has granted marks on a scale of 10.

RP.736/2019 & connected cases

4. The learned Standing Counsel had argued that

the Selection Committee had only reduced the marks from a

scale of 100 to a scale of 10, for convenience. This Court

noted that even accepting that the scale was reduced to 10,

there was no difficulty in maintaining the segregation that

has been stipulated by the UGC Regulations. There was no

explanation from the University or its officials as to why the

segregation has not been maintained.

5. This Court also noted that the learned Single

Judge had called for the files, examined them and found

that there was nothing on record to indicate whether the

marks had been granted for the different components

contemplated by the UGC Regulations. This Court found

that since the selection has been set aside by the learned

Single Judge for non-compliance of the procedure stipulated

by the UGC Regulations, there is no infirmity in the

judgment appealed against in the writ appeals. Accordingly,

granting the University time up to 09.03.2019 to comply with RP.736/2019 & connected cases

the directions of the learned Single Judge, the writ appeals

were dismissed, as per judgment dated 09.01.2019.

6. In these review petitions, the University contends

that they issued notice to all the shortlisted candidates for

interview and selection was conducted on 05.03.2019. The

University has followed the UGC Regulations, 2010, in

Appendix 3, Table-II(c) and marks were awarded as per

UGC criteria. Appointment orders were issued to the

selected candidates. However, the Selection Committee did

not adopt Ext.P13 criteria.

7. According to the review petitioners, Ext.P13 was

an assessment criteria adopted by the Department of Law

for the appointment of Assistant Professor in 2011. Ext.P13

criteria was followed only in the selection process of

Assistant Professor in Law Department on temporary basis.

It has no application in Management Studies. This aspect

was not considered while deciding the writ appeals.

Therefore, there is an error apparent on the face of the RP.736/2019 & connected cases

record.

8. The learned counsel for the review petitioners in

W.A. No.1250/2019 contended that Ext.P13 was not

produced in the writ petition from which W.A. No.35/2019

arose. The review petitioners had urged nine grounds in

their writ appeals and this Court did not consider three of the

nine grounds. Decisions relied on by the review petitioners

were not considered by the Single Judge. This Court should

not substitute its view to the decision taken by academic

bodies and expert committees. The common judgment in

the writ appeals is therefore liable to be reviewed. The

learned counsel for the review petitioners relied on the

judgment of the Apex Court in Moran Mar Basselios

Catholicos v. The Most Rev. Mar Poulose Athanasius

[1954 KLT 385 SC] and judgment of this Court in Aby

Abraham Mathew v. Hindustan Newsprint Ltd. [2002 (1)

KLT 517] and contended that a decision rendered by the

Court contrary to the law laid down by the Apex Court RP.736/2019 & connected cases

constitutes an error apparent on the face of the records

justifying review.

9. We have heard the learned counsel for the review

petitioners and the learned counsel appearing for the

respondents.

10. The prime ground on which the judgment is

sought to be reviewed, is that this Court had found fault with

the University for not following a proforma like Ext.P13,

while making selection for appointment to the post of

Assistant Professor in Management Studies and Research.

But, a reading of the judgment in writ appeals would show

that this Court noted that the relevant Regulations of the

UGC were not followed. This Court also noted that no

explanation is forthcoming for reducing the marks from a

scale of 100 to a scale of 10 or as to why the segregation of

marks has not been maintained as required under UGC

Regulations. This Court also observed in paragraph 12 that

different norms would apply for selection of Assistant RP.736/2019 & connected cases

Professors and a fresh proforma incorporating the norms

applicable would be used by the University. It was

observing so that this Court upheld the judgment of the

learned Single Judge.

11. This Court delivered the judgment in writ appeals

on the basis of pleadings in the writ petitions and writ

appeals, and the arguments advanced by the counsel on

either side. The review petitioners did not put forth an

argument that the earlier assessment criteria was adopted

only by the Department of Law for the appointment of

Assistant Professors in the year 2011. This Court, however,

noted that the segregation of marks for academic records

and research performance, domain knowledge and teaching

skills and interview performance was not maintained and

UGC Regulations in this regard were not followed. In the

present review petitions, the review petitioners are trying to

put forth defence which was not put forth during the

arguments in the writ appeals.

RP.736/2019 & connected cases

12. As the common judgment in the writ appeals was

passed taking into account the materials available on record

and the arguments advanced in the writ appeals, we do not

find any error apparent on the face of the judgment,

warranting review. If the judgment is sought to be reviewed

on the basis of the arguments now raised by the review

petitioners, it would amount to substitution of the findings

already entered into by this Court.

13. As regards the argument that some of the

grounds urged by the review petitioners were not considered

by this Court, a perusal of the judgment would show that this

Court had considered all the grounds urged by the writ

appellants at the time of hearing. This Court has also

elaborately considered the judgments of the Apex Court

cited by the counsel.

14. In the judgment sought to be reviewed, this Court

has only insisted for compliance with the UGC Regulations

and the norms of segregation of marks, laid down therein. RP.736/2019 & connected cases

This Court has not substituted its views in the matter.

Therefore, the judgment of this Court in Aby Abraham

Mathew (supra) will be of no help to the review petitioners.

15. The Hon'ble Apex Court has held in Perry

Kansagra v. Smriti Madan Kansagra [2019 3 SCALE 357]

that a review court is not sitting in appeal over its own order.

A rehearing of the matter is impermissible in law. The

grounds urged by the review petitioners do not disclose any

such error apparent on the face of the judgment sought to

be reviewed.

The review petitions are therefore without any

merit and hence dismissed.
