JUSTICE R.M.DOSHIT) This Appeal preferred under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent LPA/837/1995 2/3 JUDGMENT arises from the common judgment and order dated 21st September, 1994 passed by the learned Single Judge in so far as the above Special Civil Application No. 6872 of 1992 is dismissed. The appellant is the writ petitioner. Pursuant to the advertisement published in the year 1991, the appellant had applied for appointment as a Primary School Teacher under the respondent – District Primary Education Officer, Sabarkantha. According to the appellant, the persons having less merits than the appellant had been selected and appointed as a Primary School Teachers whereas the appellant, who had higher marks, had not been selected. The learned Single Judge has recorded finding that there was no substance in the grievance of the appellant that he was more meritorious than other candidates. It is observed that, “It becomes clear that the present petitioners are not more meritorious than the candidates already appointed and are therefore not entitled to any relief in this petition.” Mr. Hathi has submitted that the matter at dispute relates to appointment as a Primary School Teacher pursuant to the advertisement published in the year 1991. In view of the passage of time, he does not press this Appeal. The Appeal is disposed of as not pressed. (Ms. R.M.Doshit, J.) LPA/837/1995 3/3 JUDGMENT (K.M.Thaker, J.) Prakash*
