IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.21006 of 2010 Date of decision : 17.1.2011 Seema and another ....Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and another ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr.Parmod Chauhan, Advocate for the petitioners. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. The petitioner has challenged the selection of the Hindi Teachers by contending that they were duly qualified and were called for interview as well. The criteria for selecting the candidates was the total marks obtained on the basis of his academic qualification plus the marks obtained in viva voce. It is the case of the petitioners that the viva voce was not conducted fairly and that they being otherwise eligible have been deprived of the selection only on the basis of the interviews. It is further their case that the interviews were held in the months of December 2008 and January 2009 while the results were declared in 2010, after a gap of one year, and that they had to resort to the provisions of the Right to Information Act to get the information regarding the marks obtained by them. The petitioner No.2 had obtained 43.29 marks out of which he obtained 30.29 marks on C.W.P.No.21006 of 2010 -2- account of his academic qualification while 13 marks in viva voce out of total 90 marks and that only formal questions were asked by the interview committee during the interview. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and have perused the contents of the paper-book. I am afraid the petitioners having participated in the selection process come across as disgruntled candidates who have fought and lost. There are no persuasive reasons given in the petition or projected before this Court from where this Court could get a hint that the selection process was either unfair or tainted. The petition lacking in such demonstrative particulars is thus held to be without any merit and is dismissed. 17.1.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
