It appears, petitioner and sixth respondent along with others have applied for the post of Anganwadi worker of Islamnagar village. All of them were interviewed and the Interview Committee has allotted marks to each individual. In the consolidated list of marks, the sixth respondent got 49 marks, whereas petitioner got 42 marks. Thus, the sixth respondent was declared as selected. The grievance of the petitioner is that the marks were not properly counted and allotted for the purpose of declaring the candidate successful. This argument of the learned counsel for petitioner does not hold water, since, apart from the consolidated list of marks, the marks allotted by each member of the committee were also furnished along with counter, which clearly indicate that the sixth respondent got more marks than the petitioner. Under those circumstances, it cannot be said that the petitioner is more meritorious than sixth respondent. The writ petition is devoid of merits and liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 9.9.2008 DA THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.14428 of 2008 9.9.2008
