NITAI CHANDRA ROY Vs. DIRECTOR GENERAL CISF

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioners are the members of the Central Industrial Security Force and at present, they are attached to the APSU, Airport, Chennai. In both the cases, the prayer of the petitioners is for a direction to the respondents to include them in the merit list for the post of Sub-Inspector (Exe) under the LDCE 2007 in the CISF and to grant all necessary benefits with effect from 30. 6. 2007.

(2.) AT the time of admission of the petitions, notice was taken by the learned counsel for the respondents and a common counter affidavit dated 16. 10. 2007 has been filed on behalf of the respondents 1 and 4. Heard the arguments of Mr. Md. Ibrahim Ali, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr. A. S. Vijayaraghavan, learned Additional Central Government Standing Counsel representing the respondents and perused the records.

(3.) IT is seen from the records that a Notification for recruitment of Sub-Inspectors (Exe) through Limited Departmental Competitive Examination [for short, 'ldce'] 2007 was advertised for the year 2007 and totally 168 vacancies were advertised out of which 131 was for unreserved categories and the rest of them were for SC / ST categories. The petitioners had applied for the said post and call letters for the examination were sent to them by a letter dated 12. 5. 2007. Thereafter, the candidates, who became successful in the examination, were called for medical examination. The grievance of the petitioners is that though the petitioners were declared qualified both in the physical efficiency test and interview, their name did not figure in the selection list. Their allegations is that extraneous consideration and undue influence played a part in the selection and because of that, they were not selected. Except such a bald statement, no other averments were made by the petitioners. Though the petitioners have made the respondents 2 and 3 as parties in their individual capacities, no specific allegations have been made against these two officers, viz. , Inspector General, CISF and Deputy Inspector General respectively of the North Zone.
