IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4610 of 2009 1. Jay Bahadur Ram, son of Kailash Baitha, resident of Village- Barki Khararie, Via- Takia Bazar, P.S.- Kargahar, District- Rohtas. 2. Uma Shankar Prasad, son of Shyam Lal Ram, resident of village- Akari, P.O.- Akhalashpur, P.S. Bhabhua, District- Kaimur. ... Petitioners. Versus 1. The Chairman, Bihar Public Service Commissioner, Patna. 2. Secretary to Bihar Public Service Commission, Patna. 3. Deputy Secretary –cum- Examination Controller, Bihar Public Service Commission, Patna. ... Respondents. ----------- 02- 16.04.2009 Heard Mr. Ram Suhawan Singh for the petitioners, and Mr. Sanjay Pandey for the respondents. The petitioners seek a direction to the Bihar Public Service Commission to recommend their names to the Government of Bihar for selection as Assistant Engineer. 2. According to the writ petition, the petitioners were candidates at the Assistant Engineer (Civil) Competitive Examination, 2006. They were fully satisfied with their performance and yet their names were not found in the list of successful candidates recommended to the State of Bihar for appointment. They further submits that a 2 number of posts are still vacant and the Commission should recommend their names. 3. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. It appears from the final result marked Annexure-3 to the writ petition that 312 marks were the cut-off marks for selection for the post in the category of Scheduled Caste. The petitioners have on their own showing scored less than 312 marks. Secondly, the claim of the petitioners for recommendation is based on self-assessment of their performance is an unreliable basis to grant the relief. In that view of the matter, the impugned action of the Commission in refusing to recommend the petitioners’ name for appointment cannot be faulted. 4. The writ petition is dismissed.
