SARALA NAGAR Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS appeal has been preferred against the order dated 3. 12. 2003 passed by the learned Single Judge who had been pleased to dismiss the writ petition which had been filed by the petitioner-appellant herein seeking appointment on the post of Teacher Grade-III in pursuance to the advertisement issued in the year 1995-96. Admittedly, the essential qualification for the post of Teacher Grade-III were expressly laid down in the advertisement itself which was to the effect that the candidate should have been possessing Secondary and Higher Secondary certificate with five subjects of which one of the subjects was mathematics. The petitioner-appellant, admittedly, had passed out the secondary examination in the year 1976 without mathematics and, therefore, at the time of interview, she was disqualified for appointment on the post of Teacher Grade-III. THIS gave rise to a cause to the petitioner to contest the matter by filling the writ petitioner wherein it was submitted on her behalf that in the year 1996 when she had passed out secondary from the Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan, mathematics was not a compulsory subject and, therefore, she could not have been disqualified for the appointment. It was further submitted that a circular had been issued by the State of Rajasthan laying down that the candidates who had passed out the secondary without mathematics, would also be eligible for consideration for appointment and, therefore, she was illegally denied the chance of interview.

(2.) THE learned Single Judge was pleaded to reject the writ petition in view of the reply filed by the respondent-State which had submitted that the petitioner lacked the requisite qualification and hence she was rightly not granted the chance to participate in the interview as also the fact that the whole selection process having been concluded long back, it was not possible to grant any relief after such a long lapse of time.

(3.) HENCE, this appeal has no substance and consequently stands dismissed. .
