ABHISHEK YADAV Vs. ORIENTAL INSURANCE COMPANY LTD

JUDGEMENT

(1.) In the present writ petition, following substantive prayers have been sought for : -

(2.) THE writ petition came to be filed on account of the fact that the petitioner had been denied appointment to the post of Administrative Officer (Scale -1), Generalist, in Group 'I'. The respondents herein had issued an advertisement sometime in January, 2012 for inviting applications in respect of 477 vacancies in the post of an Administrative Officer, Scale -I. Since vacancies arose in various streams, such as : Marketing, Accounts, Legal, Engineering, Librarian and Generalist, each applicant was permitted to apply according to his or her qualification.

(3.) I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the respondents. On behalf of the petitioner, Mr. Bhardwaj has submitted that the only issue, which arises in the petition is, with regard to the equivalence of the qualification, which, has been obtained by the petitioner, which is, PGDM with a degree in MBA, being the eligibility condition stipulated in the advertisement issued by the respondents. The attendant condition that a minimum 55% marks ought to have been secured, is an aspect which is not in issue, since petitioner meets that criteria.
