THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.2796 OF 2002 ORDER: A.V.S. Junior College, Pulletikurru, East Godavari District, the fourth respondent herein, is a private Junior College admitted to grant- in-aid. It issued a notification dated 18.12.2001 inviting applications for the post of Junior Lecturer in Civics. The petitioner, the fifth respondent and certain others submitted applications. The Selection Committee selected the fifth respondent and order of appointment was issued. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the action of the respondents in not selecting him and appointing the fifth respondent as Lecturer in Civics. He submits that his candidature was not considered on the ground that he obtained Masters Degree in Public Administration though that is recognized as qualification for the post of Lecturer in Civics as per the proceedings in Rc.No.639/E1-1/81 dated 17.05.1983 issued by the Board of Intermediate Education, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, the first respondent herein. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for School Education. The petitioner, the fifth respondent and certain others, in response to notification, dated 18.12.2001, issued by the fourth respondent, applied to the post of Junior Lecturer in Civics. The petitioner gained an impression that his candidature was not considered at all on the ground that the subject in which he did Post Graduation is other than Civics. The proceedings dated 17.05.1983 issued by the first respondent clearly indicate that the candidates holding Masters Degree in Public Administration or Political Science or an equivalent degree of foreign University are eligible to apply for the post of Junior Lecturer in Civics. The very fact that the fifth respondent, who holds Post Graduate Degree in Political Science was considered; discloses that the respondents never insisted that the candidate must invariably hold a Post Graduate Degree in Civics or that those with Masters Degree in Public Administration are not eligible for the post of Junior Lecturer in Civics. Therefore, the impression of the petitioner is not correct at all. The next contention advanced by the petitioner is that percentage of marks obtained by the fifth respondent are a bit less. In this regard, it needs to be noted that the percentage of the marks obtained by the candidates at Post Graduation level, by itself would not be a factor to determine the desirability of a candidate. It would depend on the performance of the candidates in the Selection process. N o mala fide intention is attributed to the Selection Committee though it is pleaded that the fifth respondent does not hold basis qualification. Therefore, the Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ (L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J) 20th December 2010 RRB
