This petition has been filed seeking writ of mandamus directing the respondent No. 3 to appoint the petitioner in L.T. Grade for the post of Assistant Teacher (Biology) in Government College at Garhwal Division in pursuance of advertisement dated 18.10.1997. 2. The petitioner had applied for the post of Assistant Teacher (Biology) in pursuance of the advertisement dated 18.10.1997. According to the advertisement, the qualification for the post of Assistant Teacher (Biology) has been given science graduate with Zoology and Botany subjects. The petitioner secured 77.42 as quality point marks but he has been declared disqualified on the ground that he has not opted Zoology as one of the subjects in graduation stage. 3. The respondents have filed counter affidavit stating therein that the petitioner has not possessed the graduation degree with Zoology as one of the subjects. The combination of subjects i.e. Zoology and Botany was required in the advertisement. The petitioner has only Botany in B.Sc. Thus, he does not fulfil the required qualification for the post of Assistant Teacher (Biology) in L.T. Grade. 4. Admittedly, the petitioner has not passed B.Sc. in Zoology as one of the subjects. He has not fulfilled the requisite qualification mentioned in the advertisement. Therefore, he is not entitled to any relaxation in combination of subjects in graduation which has been required for the post of Assistant Teacher (Biology). 5. The writ petition has no merit and is dismissed. No order as to costs. (P.C. Verma, J.) 14.05.2008 P.Singh
