IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP. No. 8486 of 2010 Date of Decision: 11.5.2010. Baljit Singh and others --Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and others --Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI. Present:- Mr. K.L. Dhingra, Advocate for the petitioners. *** PERMOD KOHLI.J (ORAL) The petitioners have assailed the selection of P.T.I Teachers primarily on the ground that the petitioners have been awarded less marks in the interview. The criteria for the selection has been duly notified which inter alia provides 60 marks for the academics and 30 marks for the viva voce. It is stated that the petitioners have a good academic record and on that basis they should have been awarded higher marks in the interview. Award of marks in the interview is a question of performance during the interview. It is not for this Court to judge whether the marks awarded in the interview are lower or higher. It is a settled proposition of law that this Court while exercising the powers of judicial review does not sit as a Court of Appeal over the selection bodies. The Court can only examine the manner and method of selection and if there is any contravention of any provision of law or violation of any right constitutional or statutory, interference is warranted. No such ground is available to the petitioner nor any such ground has been alleged. I find no merit in this petition, which is accordingly dismissed. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 11.5.2010. lucky
