JUDGMENT
[Judgment of the Court was delivered by T.S.SIVAGNANAM,J.]
We have heard Mr.T.Lajapathi Roy, learned Counsel appearing for the
appellant, Mr.R.Baskaran, learned Government Counsel appearing for the
respondents 1 and 2 and Mr.V.R.Shanmuganathan, learned counsel appearing
for the third respondent.
2. This appeal filed by the writ petitioner is directed against the order
dated 21.08.2019 in W.P(MD).No.5638 of 2015.
3. The writ petition was filed by the appellant challenging the
notification issued by the Teachers Recruitment Board dated 28.05.2013. The
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis/
W.A.(MD)No.1080 of 2021
writ petition was disposed of by the impugned order giving certain directions by
directing that the Teachers Recruitment Board should follow and implement the
University Grants Commission Norms, Regulations and Procedures as well as
the nature of degree courses undergone by the respective candidates, who are all
aspiring to secure the post of 'Assistant Professor' and accordingly, complete the
selection process.
4. The appellant would contend that the consequential prayer sought
for by the appellant was not granted in and by which, the appellant wanted
rejection of all the candidates who had applied for the Ph.D programmes
without NET/SLET qualification.
5. Admittedly, none of the candidates were impleaded as party in the
writ petition. Furthermore, the impugned notification called for application from
the candidates for a direct recruitment to the post of 'Assistant Professor' in the
Tamil Nadu Collegiate Educational Service for Government Arts and Science
Colleges, 2012. The last date for submitting the filled-up applications was fixed
on 10.07.2013. Admittedly, the recruitment process has been completed. We are
informed by the learned counsel appearing for the Teachers Recruitment Board
that after the impugned selection, two other selections have also been

W.A.(MD)No.1080 of 2021
conducted. Hence, we find no grounds to interfere with the order passed by the
learned Single Bench.
6. Accordingly, the Writ Appeal stands dismissed. No costs.
Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
