AMARNATH SHUKLA Vs. STATE OF CHHATTISGARH

Decided On September 06, 2021
Amarnath Shukla Appellant
V/S
STATE OF CHHATTISGARH Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Since common question of law and fact is involved in both the writ petitions, they have been clubbed together and heard together and are being disposed of by this common order.

(2.) The petitioners herein call in question the order dtd. 3/6/2011 (Annexure P-1) by which the Public Service Commission (PSC) has declined to send the names of 17 candidates for appointment on the post of Ayurved Medical Officer.

(3.) Mr. Shantam Awasthi, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, would submit that in the recruitment already held, six candidates have not joined and 11 candidates have resigned after joining, therefore, names of the petitioners should have to be considered, but the PSC by memo dtd. 3/6/2011 (Annexure P-1) has declined to send their names on the ground that the validity of select list has already expired on 15/2/2011 and new recruitment for 351 posts has already been initiated and processed. Therefore, the memo dtd. 3/6/2011 is unsustainable and bad in law.
