Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner belongs to Scheduled Tribe community and fully qualified for the post of Assistant Register, which is reserved for ST women, that as no ST women candidates are available, the petitioner has to be issued call letter. 3. On the other hand, Mr.S.S.Bhat, learned counsel appearing for the respondent contended that the post of Assistant Registrar is reserved for ST women, that as the applications were received for the said post, question of issuing call letter to the petitioner does not arise. 4. As seen from the notification, one post of Assistant Registrar reserved for ST Women was notified duly giving qualifications. Except ST women, no other candidate is entitled to submit the application. Notification issued by the Director vide RC.No.HR3/64/2011/Notifn. Dated 03-05-2011 reads thus: “Asst. Registrar, Office Superintendent, Dialysis Lab Technician Grade-II and staff Nurses. If Scheduled Tribe-Women candidates are not available will be filled by St-Men. Apply to Executive Registrar by 13-05-2011 5.0 P.M. See detailed Notification of NIMS web site www.nims.edu.in.” Therefore, if any qualified ST Women candidates have not applied for the post of Assistant Registrar, then only the said post has to be notified for recruitment through ST-Men. That stage has not come. Learned counsel for the respondent stated that four applications have been received from ST-Women. Therefore, the process of selection is completely in accordance with the terms and conditions of the notification. Hence, question of giving mandamus does not arise. 5. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. _________________ K.C. BHANU, J DATED: 27-06-2011 Hsd Note: Issue CC by tomorrow
