Decided On April 04, 2014
Vineet Kumar Ragav Appellant
V/S
UNION OF INDIA Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE delay in filing the appeal has been sufficiently explained and is accordingly condoned.

(2.) WE have heard Shri Indrasen Singh Tomar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner -appellant. Shri Brijesh Pratap Singh appears for the respondents.

(3.) THIS Special Appeal arises out of judgment of learned Single Judge dated 24.9.2012, by which he dismissed the writ petition on the ground that the controversy raised is squarely covered by the judgment of Division Bench of this Court dated 8.2.2007 in the case of U.P. Public Service Commission, Allahabad and another vs. State of UP and another, 2007 5 ADJ 280 in which it was held that a candidate has no indefeasible right to claim appointment merely for the reason that his name is included in the select list as the State is under no legal duty to fill up all or any of the vacancy.
