IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.2106 of 2011 Date of Decision : February 25, 2011. Jasbir Kaur .....Petitioner versus Punjab State Power Corporation and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Malkeet Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner impugns the selection and appointment of respondent Nos.6 & 7 as Junior Sports Officers in the respondent-Power Corporation. The advertised qualifications leave no room to doubt that the pre-dominant criteria was the achievements of candidates in sports. Having regard to the achievements of the petitioner viz-a-viz respondent Nos.6 & 7 at different levels, it cannot be said that respondent Nos.6 & 7 have been selected arbitrarily and/or by pick and choose basis. The petitioner's plea that the advertisement was not displayed in advance or that she could not apply and compete for the advertised posts, also appears to be an after- thought and in any case is a seriously disputed question of fact and is well explained in the reply dated 7.12.2010 (Annexure P-8) to the legal notice. C.W.P.No .2106 of 2011 2 In these circumstances, no case to interfere with the selection in exercise of the writ jurisdiction is made out. The petitioner, if so advised, may submit a representation to the competent authority with a comparative table to demonstrate as to how her achievements in sports are far superior than respondent Nos.6 & 7. Suffice it to say that the nature of the championships, the standard of the participating teams, the performance of an individual player, consistency maintained by such a player etc. are the factors relevant to determine the inter-se merit. If any such representation is made, the competent authority shall consider the claim of the petitioner in accordance with law, preferably within a period of six months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. February 25, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
