However, the claim of the petitioner came to be rejected. Hence, the present Petition. 3. On the backdrop of the above referred facts, it is evident that the Wait List which was published on 30th November 2008 was valid only for one year which was expired on 30th November, 2009 and therefore, the candidates who were shown on the said Wait List, after expiry of period of Wait List cannot make any claim in respect of the vacancy, if occurs after 30th November, 2009. In the instant case, the person who was selected and appointed as Gramsevak tendered his resignation on 11th January, 2010 i.e beyond the cut-off date and therefore, the action of the respondents, in these facts and circumstances, not considering the claim of the petitioner, in our view, is just and proper and needs no interference.
