No. 943 of 2010 has been filed to implead the candidate selected during the pendency of the writ application as respondent no. 10. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State, the I.A. application is allowed. This Court does not consider it necessary to issue notice to the newly added respondent no. 10 at this stage in view of the nature of the order to be passed where the interest of respondent no. 10, are proposed to be adequately protected with due opportunity of hearing to her also. The grievance of the petitioner is that she has higher marks than respondent no. 10, notwithstanding which she has been denied appointment in preference to respondent no. 10. Learned counsel for the petitioner fairly submits 2 that the rules provide a grievance making procedure before the Sub Divisional Officer. If the petitioner files such application before the S.D.O. within a period of four weeks from today, let him examine matters in accordance with law and after hearing the petitioner and respondent no. 10, pass a reasoned and speaking order within a time prescribed under the rules. It is made clear that any appointment has to be made strictly in accordance with the merit serial position of the candidate concerned only whether it be the petitioner, respondent no. 10 or any other. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
