             IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND

                   HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SRI VIPIN SANGHI
                                          AND

                 WRIT PETITION (S/B) NO. 81 OF 2023
                              01ST MARCH, 2023
BETWEEN:
Himanshu Sharma                                                 .....Petitioner.
And

Public Service Commission, Haridwar                             ....Respondent.

Counsel for the Petitioner : Mr. Shivanand Bhatt, learned counsel.

Counsel for the Respondent : Mr. Ashish Joshi, learned counsel.

The Court made the following:

JUDGMENT:(per Hon'ble The Chief Justice Sri Vipin Sanghi)

The petitioner has preferred the present writ

petition to seek a direction to the respondent to consider his

candidature for the post of Child Development Project Officer

(Women Empowerment and Child Development Department),

pursuant to the advertisement No.A-1/E-1/PCS-2021/2021-

22, dated 10.08.2021 of the Uttarakhand Combined State

Civil/ Junior Subordinate Services Examination 2021.

2. The case of the petitioner is that he secured higher

than the cut-off marks for the unreserved category- whereas

the petitioner secured 104 marks, the cut-off for the said

category, for the said post, was 91.1497 marks. The

petitioner states that the petitioner has been representing the

respondent, but to no avail.

3. This petition, in our view, is belated and no relief

can be granted to the petitioner at this stage. The mains

examination had already been conducted from 23.02.2023. If

the petitioner was desirous of taking recourse, he should

come to the Court well in time considering the fact that the

list of candidates, who had qualified for the mains

examination, was circulated in May, 2022.

4. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed.

5. Pending application, if any, also stands disposed of.
