LILADHAR PANDEY Vs. PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS writ petition is against the respondents arrayed, namely, the U.P. Public Service Commission, Allahabad and the Director of Education (Secondary), Uttar Pradesh, Allahabad. The issue is the recuritment of trained teachers in the Subordinate Education Services, particularly for the Hills Divisions of the State.

(2.) IN April, 1988 the Commission, aforesaid, issued an advertisement No. 7 of 1987-88 and announced that for the U. P. Subordinate Education Services (Trained L. T. grade (Male Section) Hills Division an assistant teacher in Geography in the L. T. grade was required. Against this post there was a reserved quota, specifically marked for handicapped persons. The assistant teacher was for the subject of Geography.

(3.) AMIDST, the schedule of the interviews for candidates which has already begun, this Court will be cautious in issuing a writ to the respondent U. P. Public Service Commission as the petitioner has left his grievance to the last minute and he ought to have come earlier if he had seriously expected the Court to consider the issue of a notice in the context of the circumitances. The process of the interview cannot be stopped. But, as the entire examination of the candidates is on the basis of a viva voce assessment only and between the advertisement of 1988 and the call for interview of the candidates six years have passed, there is much which needs to be expressed as a matter of concern.
