At the outset, it is brought to the notice of this Court that the petitioner on an earlier occasion has filed writ petition No. 727 of 2009, which was dismissed by this Court vide order dated 03/8/2009. It is submitted that by the said petition the petitioner has challenged the process of selection undertaken by the respondents for filling the post of Professor and selection of respondent No. 6. This Court, after taking into consideration the contentions canvassed by the petitioner, has come to the conclusion that as the petitioner has participated in the process of selection, hence she was estopped from canvassing the grievance about selection process undertaken by the respondents. 0712wp4878.09.odt 2/2 The cause of action in the present petition is identical to one involved in the earlier petition except the challenge is based on the ground different than the one raised in the earlier petition. In our view, that does not make any difference when the cause of action is one and the same. In that view of the matter, the present writ petition is not maintainable, the same is dismissed as not maintainable. C. A. NO. 2651/09 : This application is filed by the petitioner seeking permission to amend the petition. In view of the dismissal of the petition, application is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE wwl
