WPSS No. 947 of 2009 Hon’ble Prafulla C. Pant, J. Mr. P.S. Bohara, Advocate, present for the petitioners. Mr. N.P. Sah, Standing Counsel, present for the respondents. Heard. By means of this writ petition, the petitioners have sought writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to call the petitioners for training in the Special B.T.C. Course for the year 2006-07. The petitioners’ case in short is that on 09.07.2006 an advertisement was issued for selecting the candidates for Special B.T.C. Training Course for the year 2006-07. A seniority / merit list of eligible candidates was prepared for District Champawat. The merit list was published in the newspaper. The petitioners’ case is that all seats were not filled in District Institute of Educational Training (for short D.I.E.T.). It is pleaded that the petitioners have wrongly been denied admission in the Special B.T.C. Course. In the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents No. 5 & 6 it has been stated that in the first counseling for the Special B.T.C. Course for the year 2006-07 for District Champawat only 90 candidates appeared out of which 75 candidates gave their joining. It is stated that in the second counseling the candidates ranking 105 to 132 in merit were to be considered out of those 27 only 23 appeared. On behalf of respondents it has been stated in their counter affidavit that no-one was inducted for Special B.T.C. Training Course after Serial No.132. It is specifically pleaded in the counter affidavit that all the petitioners in merit are below Serial No. 132 and as such they have no right to be inducted in the Training. Having considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties, in view of the stand clarified in the counter affidavit filed on behalf of respondents No.5 & 6, this Court is not inclined to grant the relief sought by the petitioners as no-one below merit to them was selected for Special B.T.C. Course of 2006-07 in D.I.E.T., Champawat. Apart from this, it is mentioned that for future now the State of Uttarakhand is conducting only regular B.T.C. Course and not Special B.T.C. Course. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed summarily with the observation that the petitioners may make their representation to the Government for redressal of their grievances. (Interim Relief Application No. 8543 of 2009 and Delay Condonation Application No. 10706 of 2009 also stand dismissed). (P.C.P., J.) 10.12.2009 NS
