JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr. Kamal Mor, Advocate for Mr. Jasbir Mor, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. S.S. Patter, DAG, Haryana, for the State. RANJIT SINGH J. The candidature of the petitioners for appointment to the post of Network Supervisor advertised in the year 2009 was rejected and the communication in this regard was issued on 29.01.2010. The petitioners, accordingly, filed the writ petition to challenge this communication and also to seek direction for allowing them to appear in the interview. While issuing notice, the respondents were directed to interview the petitioners provisionally. The respondents were then directed to bring the result of the interview to ascertain if the petition is required to be decided on merits if the petitioners were in the zone of selection. When the result was not brought on 16.02.2011, the case was adjourned to today with direction to pay costs of Rs. 5000/-. Civil Writ Petition No. 3430 of 2010 -2- Costs have been paid and accepted by the counsel for the petitioners. The result of the interview held in this case is brought in the sealed cover, which is opened in the Court. Petitioner No. 1 has secured 44.84 marks whereas petitioner No. 2 secured 44.74 marks. The respondents have also placed before me the result of the selected candidates to point out that the last selected candidate has secured 48.32 marks and, thus, both the petitioners could not make the grade on merit. Since the petitioners have not been able to make grade on merit, no case for further proceeding with the writ petition is made out The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. However, this will not bar the petitioners to challenge the selection of the selected candidates if any legal ground is available to them. March 01, 2011 (RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
