(1.) Grievance of the petitioner who is working as Assistant Lecturer (Electrical) in the first respondent Polytechnic is that he being the sole candidate in the feeder category entitled to be promoted as a Lecturer has been overlooked by the Selection Board. Petitioner was appointed as Assistant Lecturer provisionally on 1-3-1977. His service was terminated on 31-3-1977. He was appointed again on 1-8-1977 and continues in that post thereafter. He is a graduate in Engineering.
(2.) Petitioner contends that he has necessary qualifications to be selected as lecturer and he alone is available in the feeder category and so he should have been selected by the Selection Board. He was called for interview on 5-8-1988. In the interview held on 6-8-1988 sixth respondent was selected for the post of the Lecturer.
(3.) Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that as there was only one qualified person in the feeder category there was really no necessity for inviting applications for the appointment of a Lecturer.
