The Transport Commissioner, Government of Bihar, Patna 5. The Principal Secretary, Science & Technology Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna ......Respondents/Respondents ----------- 02- 24/6/2011 Heard learned counsel for the appellant, and Mr. J P Karn, learned Additional Advocate General IV, for the respondents. This appeal under clause 10 of the letters patent of the High Court of Judicature of Patna has been preferred by the petitioner of CWJC no.6150 of 2010, and is aggrieved by the order dated 20.5.2010, whereby the writ petition has been dismissed, and the decision of the Staff Selection Commission (hereinafter referred to as the Commission) rejecting the petitioner’s application at the threshold for appointment as Motor Vehicle Inspection has been upheld. 2. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the 2 parties. The Commission issued advertisement inviting applications for appointment to the post of Motor Vehicle Inspector. The advertisement, inter alia, stated that the candidate should have diploma in Automobile Engineering or Mechanical Engineering. The appellant has diploma in Production Technology and, therefore, the application has been rejected at the threshold on the ground that the appellant does not possess the requisite qualification. Secondly, his experience certificate also does not show that he has experience of repair of vehicles. These are valid grounds for rejection of his application. We agree with the order of the Commission. The writ petition has rightly been dismissed. 3. There is no merit in this appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. ( S K Katriar ) ( Amaresh Kumar Lal ) mrl
