IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 786 of 2008 (S/S) WITH Interim Relief Application No. 4890 of 2008 Munendra Kumar S/o Sri Sukhlal Singh R/o House No. 2/3 Singh Colony Rudrapur, Udham Singh Nagar. …………Petitioner. Versus District Judge Udham Singh Nagar. …………….Respondent. Shri K.S. Bora, learned counsel for the petitioner. Hon’ble Prafulla C. Pant, J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought writ petition in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondent to give weightage/privilege in consideration of the candidature of the petitioner for the appointment on the advertised post of Class IV, in District Court Udham Singh Nagar, in view of his previous selection in the year 1998. 3. Brief facts of the case are that petitioner, a member of Other Backward Caste appears to have found place in select list prepared in a selection process in Class IV recruitment under Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Civil Court Inferior Establishment Rules 1995. The Petitioner’s case is that he stood at serial number 13 in order of merit in the O.B.C. category and the candidates who stood up to serial No. 12 in merit were given appointment. On that ground the petitioner seeks that he should be given weightage in the new selection process, which is undertaken by the respondent in the year 2008. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner failed to show me any Rule under which a person who found his place in merit in the previous recruitment year and could not be issued appointment letter for the want of vacancies, can be considered and given weightage after 10 years in the new selection process. 5. For the reasons, as discussed above, this writ petition is devoid of merits. The same is dismissed in limine. (Interim relief Application No. 4890 of 2008, stands dismissed). (Prafulla C. Pant, J.)
