1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.859/2009 Mrs.Usha Sudamrao Kadam .. PETITIONER VERSUS The State of Maharashtra & Ors .. RESPONDENTS .... Shri B.A.Dhengale,Adv.for petitioner. Shri K.G.Patil, AGP for Respondent no.1. Shri N.L.Jadhav,Adv.for Respondents 2 and 3. .... CORAM : P.V.HARDAS & R.K.DESHPANDE,JJ. DATE : 22/06/2009 ORAL ORDER : This is a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India by which the petitioner prays for directing respondents to appoint the petitioner on the post of Tuberculosis Health Visitor, giving benefit of 30% reservation to the petitioner in the light of Government Resolution dated 25/10/2005. In the local news papers inviting applications for appointments to the post of Tuberculosis Health Visitor, in all 5 posts came to be advertised. In the advertisement, apart from specifying the 2 educational qualification, no reservation of 30% was provided for women candidates. The petitioner participated in the entire selection process i.e. the written examination as well as oral interview without any demur. The petitioner after interview, was placed in the select list at Sr.no.8. Five persons came to be appointed to the 5 posts which were advertised. The petitioner therefore, as on today, stands in the wait list at Sr.No.3. Since no reservation of 30% was provided for in the said advertisement and there was no challenge in this behalf at the behest of the petitioner and moreover, as the petitioner had participated in the entire selection process including written examination and oral interview, it is not now open to the petitioner to file a Writ Petition and pray that the respondents be directed to appoint the petitioner on the post of Tuberculosis Health Visitor by giving benefit of 30% reservation. Any similar actions taken by respondents earlier obviously would not be a ground for granting such a relief. 2. In the light of what has been held above by us, we find no merit in the petition and petition is therefore, summarily dismissed with no order as to costs.
