CWP No.23862 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CWP No.23862 of 2011 Date of decision: 23.12.2011 Gurvinder Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. JPS Sidhu, Advocate for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J (oral). The petitioner has prayed for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus to direct the respondents to issue appointment letter to him against the post of T.B. Health Visitor, advertised vide Annexure P-1. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that petitioner had cleared certificate course of T.B. Health Visitor under the Para Medical Council, Punjab securing 425 marks out of 600 marks. He had other experience to his credit and is, thus, entitled to be appointed as T.B. Health Visitor. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. It appears that an advertisement (Annexure P-5) was issued by the Directorate of Research and Medical Education, Punjab inviting applications for various posts. The petitioner applied pursuant to same but was not selected. He made a representation, Annexure P-6 but no CWP No.23862 of 2011 2 response was received. Only ground agitated for claiming appointment is the qualification possessed by the petitioner as well as experience to his credit. It is evident that pursuant to advertisement, the issue of selection was to be considered by the department in accordance with the procedure prescribed. In case the petitioner was not selected after being interviewed, same cannot be subject matter of challenge unless some irregularity in the selection process is pointed out. No such plea has, however, been raised. The petition is, thus, without any merit and is hereby dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 23.12.2011 'rajpal'
