IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. CWP(T) No.: 6903 of 2008. Decided on: 07.09.2010. __________________________________________________________ Krishna Nand Sharma. … Petitioner. Versus State of Himachal Pradesh and others. … Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Rajiv Sharma, J. Whether approved for reporting?1 No. For the Petitioner : Mr. R.S. Gautam, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. P.M. Negi, Deputy Advocate General with Mr. R.P. Singh, Assistant Advocate General. Rajiv Sharma, J. (Oral): The petitioner had submitted application for considering his candidature for the post of Vidya Upasak under I.R.D.P. (General) category. I.R.D.P. Certificate was issued to the petitioner’s family on 15th October, 1999. The date of interview was 14th July, 2000. The I.R.D.P. certificate has been renewed vide Annexure A-13 only on 22nd August, 2000 by the Block Development Officer, Solan. It is thus evident that on the date of interview, i.e. 14th July 2000, the I.R.D.P. certificate was not renewed. Consequently, there is no illegality in the action of the respondents of not considering the candidature of the petitioner under I.R.D.P. (General) category for the post of Vidya Upasak. 1 Whether the reporters of Local Papers may be allowed to see the judgment? No. - 2 - 2. Accordingly, in view of the observations made hereinabove, there is no merit in this petition and the same is dismissed, so also the pending application(s), if any. There shall be no order as to costs. (Rajiv Sharma), Judge. September 07, 2010. (sck).
