The petitioner had appeared for selection in the year 2006. The selection was made in October, 2006. The petitioner was in the waiting list. He has now filed this writ petition seeking appointment on the ground that still there is a vacancy and the petitioner being first on the waiting list can be so appointed. To explain the delay in making the approach, the counsel refers to the fact that one Sandeep Singh son of Shri Chand Singh had filed Civil Writ Petition No.16340 of 2008 and on this basis the candidate from the waiting list was not made to join. The waiting list, as conceded by the counsel for the petitioner, was to operate for one year. The petitioner has not made any effort to seek appointment in case there was any vacancy, he being in the waiting list. At this stage, waiting list cannot be made to operate. Dismissed.
