Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel who accepts notice for respondents 1 and 2. 3. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that she is entitled to be invited for interview for selection to the post of Higher Secondary School Teacher (Junior) in Sociology scheduled to be held between 16th and 18th of August 2007. 4. However, it is contended by the learned Standing Counsel that going by the Special Rules, petitioner is not entitled to be considered for selection since she has not obtained her B.Ed. through a regular course. It is also contended that petitioner has not challenged the notification and the relevant clause in the Special Rules. 5. But keeping in view the peculiar facts and circumstances and the balance of convenience, I am satisfied W.P.(C)No.24666 OF 2007 :: 2 :: that the petitioner is entitled to be invited for the interview as prayed for. Ordered accordingly. 6. It is made clear that this interim order is only provisional and subject to further orders of this court. Permission to participate in the interview shall not confer any benefit on the petitioner to claim selection to the post. Hand over copy of the order. A.K.BASHEER, JUDGE jes
