SB Civil Writ Petition No. 6008/1999 Jitendra Kumar Parashar Vs Zila Parishad, Karauli & ors 30.7.2007 Hon'ble Mr Justice Ashok Parihar Mr SC Gupta - for the petitioner BY THE COURT: Petitioner is seeking appointment to the post of Gram Sevak-cum-Paden Sachiva in pursuance to the selections made in the year 1999. As per the scheme of the selections the petitioner was allowed to appear in the written examination, however, he failed in the written examination. The present writ petition has been filed challenging the criteria for making selections so far as awarding bonus marks for rural residency is concerned. Initially, interim order has been passed by this court on awarding bonus marks, however, subsequently, the same was vacated mainly on the ground that the petitioner had failed in the written examination itself. Though, the provisions of awarding bonus marks for rural residency has already been set aside by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, however, apart from the petitioner having failed in the written examination, even otherwise, with the lapse of time, the prayers, as made, cannot be accepted. It will not be just and proper to disturb the whole appointments made in the year 1995 without giving an opportunity of hearing to the affected persons. Having considered entire facts and circumstances, the writ petition is dismissed accordingly as having no merit. (Ashok Parihar) J. bnsharma
