WP(C) 4352/2006 BEFORE THE HON’BLE JUSTICE MR B.K. SHARMA Heard Mr. P.C. Dey, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. B. K. Sarma, learned Standing Counsel, Social Welfare Department. The petitioner aspiring for a Grade-IV post in Nalbari District under So cial Welfare Department offered his candidature. The selection was conducted som e time in 2005-06. The petitioner was allotted Roll No. 68 and in the merit list the said Roll No. appeared at Sl. No.5. In the counter affidavit filed by the r espondents, it has been stated that the selection was conducted for four vacanci es and one of the candidate appointed was from ST(P) category. Thus, as the peti tioner’s merit position was at Sl. No.5, he was not within the zone of considera tion and could not be appointed. Mr. Dey, learned counsel for the petitioner sub mits that since after the selection, further vacancies have arisen, the petition er may be appointed against one of those vacancies. Needless to say that vacanci es which subsequently arose after the selection, will have to be filled up by th e process of a fresh selection and not on the basis of the list that was exhaust ed with the filling up of required number of vacancies. In view of the above, no relief can be granted to the petitioner and acc ordingly the writ petition stands dismissed.
