1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Writ Petition No.854 of 2007 (Shri Mahesh Trimbakrao Wakodikar and others v. The Post Master General, Mah. Circle, Nagpur and others) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's orders Shri V.S. Kukday, Advocate for Petitioners. Coram : A.H. Joshi & R.C. Chavan, JJ. Dated : 17 th July, 2007 1. Heard the learned Advocate for the petitioner. 2. With long and chequered history of litigation, the case rests on the point as to whether the process of short- listing of the candidates and elimination of the petitioners can be assailed. 3. Only ground pressed in service before us is that the selection of other candidates and elimination of petitioners at the time of calling them for interview is wrong. Foundation of this argument is that those who are called for interview are passed only 9th Standard Examination, while the petitioner have passed Matriculation. According to the petitioners, those who are qualified more than those who are selected ought not to have been eliminated. 2 4. The petitioners have not been able to show that there is any illegality committed by the respondents in the process of shortlisting the candidates and elimination of the petitioners. Short-listing and elimination is the power of employer. In absence of any illegality being shown, there is no ground for interference. 5. Thus, the petition has no merit and it is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE. Pdl.
