CWP No.127 of 2001. 04.04.2007 Present : M/s.Ajay Mohan Goel and V.K. Verma, Advocates, for the petitioner. Mr.D.K. Khanna, Advocate, for respondent No.1. M/s.J.K. Verma and P.M. Negi, Deputy Advocate Generals, for respondent No.2. CWP No.127 of 2001. The petitioner has challenged the order of the State Administrative Tribunal dismissing his petition wherein he has challenged the eligibility criteria for the selection to the post of Assistant Professor (Surgery). The matter was taken up by the Tribunal and it was noticed that the petitioner did not have the requisite marks fixed for the selection. It was found as a fact that the cut off point was 62 marks, whereas the applicant has secured only 58 marks. However, the Tribunal went into the other aspect of the matter also and decided on the question regarding the criteria prescribed for selection. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that once it was found as a fact that the petitioner did not qualify for the selection on the basis of the test, it was unnecessary to have decided the other points raised. We are in agreement with the submissions made by the learned counsel. Since the petitioner had not qualified the selection test, it was not necessary to have decided the other points in controversy. We, therefore, allow this writ petition to the extent that the petitioner will be at liberty to challenge the selection criteria for the post in accordance with the Rules prevalent at the time of selection if any to be made in future. So far as the other relief regarding the selection of the petitioner is concerned, obviously since he has not qualified the selection test, he cannot make any grievance. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ( Dev Darshan Sud ) Judge April 4, 2007 (Rajiv Sharma) (aks) Judge.
