Though application submitted by the petitioner was within time but his candidature was not being considered by the respondents for Special BTC, on the ground that he has not submitted his B.Ed. marksheet, along with application. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the last date of submission of application for Special BTC course was on 10.08.2006 but he has received his B.Ed. marksheet in the month of December, 2006. Since the petitioner had not passed B.Ed. examination till the last date of submission of application for Special BTC Course, as such, petitioner is not entitled to be considered for Special BTC Training Course, as he was not fulfilling the eligibility criteria, which was prescribed in the advertisement. However, petitioner wants to submit representation before the appropriate authority for redressal of his grievance. It is open for the petitioner to make representation and it is expected from the authority concerned to take necessary action on the representation of the petitioner. With this direction, writ petition as well as interim relief application no. nil of 2007 is disposed of. No order as to costs. (M.M. Ghildiyal, J) July 04, 2007 SKSharma
