For the Respondent Nos.2to6: Mr. D.K.Sinha, Sr. Adv. Mr. Narendra Kumar Jha, Adv. For the Private-Respondents : Mr. Ajit Kumar, Adv. For the State : Md. Anis Akhtar, AC to G.A.-3. -------------- 11 27.01.2011 The writ petitioners along with large number of persons had applied for post in the Bihar Vidhan Sabha as Typist/Reporters. The petitioners were not selected. They have challenged the results and the selection process before this Court. A counter affidavit has been filed by the Bihar Vidhan Sabha in which the marks of the contesting persons have been annexed. In the counter affidavit, it is stated that the petitioners did not even qualify the minimum typing speed, it was 30 WPM and, as such, failed in the very basic test, their onwards consideration was, thus, futile. Petitioners have not challenged the correctness of this stand by reason of petitioners failing to qualify for consideration. This writ petition, in my view, lacks substance. Petitioners having not qualified, cannot challenge the selection process any more. The writ petition, thus, stands dismissed. Trivedi/ (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
