Mr. Rajvinder Sharma, Advocate for respondent No.4. .... ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J. (Oral) The petitioners have prayed that directions be issued to the respondents to permit the petitioners to apply for the post of ETT Teachers mentioned in the application form prescribed by the Deputy Director(LD) and after considering their applications, they be appointed as ETT Teachers. Counsel for the State submits that the last candidate selected as ETT Teacher in the General Category had secured 142.9 marks whereas petitioner Nos. 1, 3 and 4 had secured 130.2, 129 and 137.70 marks respectively and, hence, petitioner Nos. 1, 3 and 4 are not entitled to be appointed as ETT Teachers. Counsel for the State further submits that petitioner Nos.2 and 5 have been selected and appointed as ETT Teachers in the Scheduled Caste and Backward class category respectively. [ 2 ] C.W.P. No. 10252 of 2007 A perusal of the aforementioned facts shows that petitioner Nos. 1,3 and 4 are not eligible for appointment as ETT Teachers as they had secured less marks than the last appointed candidate whereas petitioner Nos. 2 and 5 have already been selected and appointed and, therefore, this writ petition has been rendered infructuous and is disposed of as such.
