WP(C) 406/2008 BEFORE HON’BLR MR. JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA. Heard Dr. B. Ahmed, learned counsel along with Mr. N. Haque, learned counsel for the petitioners as well as Mr. B. Sharma, learned counsel appearing for the Res pondents No.2 and 4 i.e. the Inspector General of Registration, Assam and the Di strict Registrar, Karimganj. I have also heard Ms R. Chakraborty, learned Addl. Sr. Govt. Advocate, Assam appearing for the remaining respondents. The petitioners are aspirants for the posts of Extra Writer in the offic es of the Sub-Registrar in the districts. They are aggrieved by the methodology adopted by the respondents towards filling up the post. The respondents have d ecided to fill up the posts from amongst the candidates sponsored by the Distri ct Employment Exchanges. The names of the petitioners have not been sponsored by the jurisdictional Employment Exchanges except one of the petitioners. Another grievance of the petitioners is that the selection is to be held district-wise. At this, Mr. Sharma, learned counsel for the Respondents No.2 a nd 4 submits that the selection is to be held centrally and not district-wise. N o opinion is expressed in this regard except providing that the respondents sha ll hold the selection for the posts strictly following the rules. As regards the right of participation in the selection, considering the grievanc e of the petitioners that except one name of the petitioners, has been sponsored by the Employment Exchange and thus, they are deprived of participation in the selection process, it is hereby provided that the Responden t No.6 shall send the candidatures of the petitioners to the appointing authorit y. For such sponsorship, the Respondent No.6 may make necessary verifications e tc. to judge the eligibility of the petitioners. If the petitioners offer their candidatures according to norms and are f ound to be eligible to sit in the selection, the Respondent No.6 may forward the ir names to the appointing authority for consideration of their case. Once their names are sponsored by the Respondents No.6 subject to eligibility, the respon dents may conduct the selection in accordance with rules taking into account the candidatures of all. This order has been passed in view of the agreement that the respondents are ready to accept the candidatures of the petitioners on being sponsored by t he Employment Exchange i.e. the Respondent No.6. With the above direction, the writ petitions are disposed of.
