WP(C) 6611/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE AMITAVA ROY Heard Mr. S Saikia, learned counsel for the petitioner and Ms. A Verma, learned Standing Counsel, Health & Family Welfare Department, Assam. In view of the order proposed to be passed, it is not considered necessary to is sue formal notice. Suffice it to mention that the petitioners claim to have succ essfully completed the Leprosy Injector Training under the Joint Director of Hea lth Service (Leprosy) at Rajib Gandhi Memorial Leprosy Training Centre, Boko in the district of Kamrup. They contend that on the completion of the training, ste ps were taken for their appointment as Leprosy Injector in the department. While the process was thus pending completion, an advertisement was published by the Director of Health Service, Assam, Hengrabari for filling up 18 posts of Leprosy Injector. The petitioners have, meanwhile, offered their candidature for the sa id process as well. They, however, are before this Court seeking a direction to the concerned respondent authorities to provide them weightage on the basis of t he training undertaken by them in making a comparative assessment of suitability of the candidates for the eventual appointments to the post involved. When queried by this Court, Mr. Saikia, has submitted that meanwhile, interview in the selection process has been completed, the same having been held on 12.12. 2010. He, however, submits on instructions that till date final selection has no t been made. Ms. Verma, does not dispute the above state of affairs as on date. In this view of the matter, this petition is closed with the observation that in case the official respondents consider the training undertaken by the petitione rs to be relevant for the quality of the service expected of the Leprosy Injecto r to be newly recruited, they would accord due weightage thereto vis-a-vis the c oncerned candidates. As no such indication of preference is discernible in the a dvertisement, no direction as such has been issued. It is expected that, if the respondent authorities feel that the training said to have been undertaken by th e petitioners would add to the excellence in performance in the post involved, t here is no reason as to why they would ignore or disregard the same. The petitio n stands disposed in the above terms. No costs.
