NILMADHAB DAS Vs. STATE OF WEST BENGAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The important question that arises for our consideration in the appeal is whether two different recruitment processes initiated at different times for filling up the separately notified vacant posts of Primary School Teacher can be clubbed together for preparing a common panel to fill up the said separately notified vacancies.

(2.) The present controversy arises pursuant to the attempt of the respondent authorities to club together two different recruitment processes separately initiated in the year 2005 and 2006 for filling up the assessed vacancies of 1365 and 300 posts of Primary School Teacher.

(3.) It is the specific contention of the appellants that since their names were sponsored by the Employment Exchange pursuant to the requisition dated 22nd November, 2005 for filling up 955 posts, they cannot be clubbed together with the candidates whose names were sponsored against the subsequent requisition dated 1st March, 2006 for filling up the additional 210 posts.
