KUNWAR RAHUL SINGH Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) S. Harkauli, J. Heard learned Counsel for the parties.

(2.) THE petitioners had appeared at the written test and interview for 36 posts of Gramya Vicars Adhikari. After inter view, petitioner's names were placed in the select list, but they were not issued ap pointment letters. By order of the District Magistrate the interview and its result was cancelled with the direction to hold fresh interview. THE only reason given in the counter-affidavit for cancelling the inter view and its result is that the Chairman and each members of the interview should have awarded separate marks under three heads mentioned in Rule 5 (4) of the U. P. Procedure for Direct Recruitment for Group 'c' posts (Outside the purview of Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commis sion) Rules, 1998. It is alleged in the counter-affidavit that the Chairman and each member awarded the marks to each candidate as assessed by the Chairman and members cumulatively for all three heads and not separately in respect of each of the three heads mentioned in the rules.

(3.) LEARNED Standing Counsel has in vited my attention to paragraph 6 of the counter-affidavit in which it has been mentioned that there were allegations that the Chairman of the Committee had taken some bribe. First of all in this regard an enquiry was held. In the counter-affidavit it has not been stated if the charge of taking bribe by the Chairman was proved. Secondly it has not been stated what action has been taken against him. In view of this I am not incline to believe such allegation without corroboration.
