Tathod, adv for petitioner Smt. Deshmukh Assistant Government Pleader for respondent no.1 & 2 CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK & SHRI P.B. VARALE, JJ. DATE : JULY 28, 2011. By this petition the petitioner seeks a writ of certiorari for quashing and setting aside the order passed by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal on 3.1.2011 dismissing the original application filed by the petitioner. It is the case of the petitioner that though the respondent no.3 had wrongly answered the questions in the written examination, the committee had wrongly granted marks for the wrong answers on the basis they were rightly answered. In such circumstances, according to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the respondent no.3 was shown to have secured higher marks than the petitioner at the examination which was conducted for making appointment on the post of Police Patil. The learned Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal held that the questions were correctly answered by respondent no.3 and there were only some grammatical mistakes in the same. The other submission made on behalf of the petitioner that the respondent no.3 was not qualified 2 for appointment on the post of Police Patil was also negatived by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal on the ground that the respondent no.3 had a degree of Sahitya Sudharak Examination and this examination was duly recognised as equivalent to B.A. examination. The findings recorded by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal are pure findings of facts and call for no interference in exercise of writ jurisdiction. In the result, the writ petition fails and is dismissed with no order as to costs. JUDGE JUDGE SMP
