Dave, CJ) The issue, which was involved in the petition is with regard to one of the conditions on which “Hamalies” were to be appointed. The appellants who are the original petitioners are aggrieved by one of the conditions with regard to educational qualification. The learned Single Judge rejected the petition and, therefore, aggrieved by the order of rejection, this appeal has been filed. Learned Advocate appearing for the appellants-original petitioners has submitted that for the work of Hamalies, no educational qualification should have been prescribed. We do not agree with the said submission, because, in our opinion, it is for the employer to decide what sort of educational qualification, the employee should possess. It cannot be said that educational qualification is not required for the work, which the selected candidates are required to discharge. We do not see any substance in the appeal and we are in agreement with the judgment delivered by the learned Single Judge. The appeal stands dismissed with no order as to costs. Needless to say that observations made by the learned Single Judge with regard to considering applications, which had been received in time shall remain un-affected. ______________________ ANIL R.
