The petitioner was called for interview for the post of Lecturer (School Cadre) against sportsman quota in the year 2003. According to the petitioner, he was interviewed on 28.10.2003, however, appointment letter has not been issued to him.

Bawa, learned Advocate General has argued that the candidates were required to be sponsored each year. 1 Whether the reporters of Local Papers may be allowed to see the judgment? No. 2 We have heard the learned counsel for the parties and have perused pleadings carefully. It has come in the reply filed by respondent No.3 that he did not receive any fresh requisition for the year 2003-2004 despite clear instructions to all the Head of Departments that requisition for filling up of posts under sportsman quota should be sent each year. The name of the petitioner has been sent in response to the requisition received vide letter dated 29.9.2000. Since the post was to be filled up in the year 2003, fresh requisition was required to be sent by the Head of Departments. The petitioner could not be considered on the basis of earlier requisition received vide letter dated 29.9.2000 Moreover, the petitioner has not placed any material on record to establish that pursuant to interview, he was selected. The petitioner cannot seek appointment merely on the pretext that he has participated in the interview. Consequently, there is no merit in the petition and the same is dismissed. No costs. (R.B. Misra), Acting Chief Justice. (Rajiv Sharma), 19.10. 2009 Judge. *Awasthi*
