By way of present petition, the petitioner challenge the selection of respondent no. 4 by respondent nos. 2 and 3 to the post of Live Stock Supervisor. 2. It is the case of the petitioner that respondent no. 4 came to be appointed by way of back door entry without advertising the post. It is, therefore, prayed that selection of respondent no. 4 is illegal. 3. From the affidavit in reply filed on behalf of respondent no. 4, it can be seen that respondent no. 4 came to be selected by duly constituted 2 W.P. 4759/1997 selection Committee consisting of 6 members. The learned counsel for the Municipal Corporation submits that such of the candidates were interviewed who were in service of the Corporation and who were possessing the requisite qualification for the post in question. 4. Apart from it, on the date of interview i.e. on 23/6/1997,the petitioner did not possess requisite qualification and was therefore not called for interview, whereas respondent no. 4 was duly qualified. 5. In that view of the matter, no case is made out for interference. The petition is dismissed. Rule is discharged. However, there shall be no order as to costs.
