HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No.95 of 2009 (PIL) Everest Educational & Social Welfare Trust …Petitioner Versus State of Uttarakhand & another ...Respondents Dated : December 9th 2010 Coram: Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, C.J. Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. Barin Ghosh, C.J. (Oral) Mr. Ajay Veer Pundir, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. H.M. Raturi, Standing Counsel for the State/respondents. 2. Present writ petition seeks to challenge the advertisement dated 1st July, 2009, seeking response from persons to supply the advertised contractual vacancies. The ground of challenge is that the advertisement did not indicate number of vacancies reserved for different communities. The advertisement depicts vacancies reserved for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities but does not depict any vacancy reserved for OBC category. There cannot be any dispute that the reservation policy of the State applied to the advertised posts, vacancies whereof, were proposed to be filled up. However, there appears to be no statutory or otherwise requirement of indicating vacancies reserved for any community in the advertisement. 2 Therefore, the advertisement cannot be called in question. In the event, pursuant to the advertisement, posts have been filled in, in breach of the reservation policy of the State, of course appropriate action in respect thereof, can be taken. With the observation as above, the writ petition is disposed of. (V.K.Bist, J.) (Barin Ghosh, C.J.) 09.12.2010 Arti
