1 S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.5610/2008 Sanju Mundra Vs. State of Raj. & Ors. Date of Order :: 13.8.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. B.S. Charan, for the petitioner. ... By this petition for writ a direction is sought by the petitioner to provide appointment to her as Gram Rozgar Sahayak by cancelling appointment of respondent No.4 Sh. Bherulal Parasar. It is stated on behalf of the petitioner that the vacancy relating to village – Mansa was reserved for a person belonging to Scheduled Tribe (Female), however, on non-availability of the same appointment was accorded to the respondent No.4 who belongs to general category. The claim of the petitioner is that she being a female should have been given priority over respondent No.4. A statement is also made that the respondents have ignored merit of the petitioner. On examination of the record I do not find any material on basis of which it can be said that the petitioner was more meritorious in any manner vis-a-vis the respondent No.4. The allegation of the petitioner that the respondents ignored her merit, therefore, is ill-founded. The preference to claim, being a female candidate is also ill-founded, as no such preference is ever prescribed by the respondents. The only 2 requirement is that if no person from the reserve category is available then the vacancy can be filled in by a person belonging to general category. For the reasons stated above I do not find any merit in this petition for writ. The same, therefore, is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR), J. Jgoyal '
