WP(C) 6523/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY The petitioner who offered his candidature for Grade-IV vacancies advertised by the Director of Health Services, Assam, seeks direction for his appointment to a ny of the available vacancies by considering his experience as a Casual Field Wo rker (DDT Sprayer). Earlier also the petitioner had approached this Court with a similar pra yer in WP(c) 1138/2008 and the said writ petition was disposed of on 12.5.2008 b y denying the relief claimed by the petitioner with the observation that, the pe titioner has to qualify himself as and when recruitment process is initiated. It is submitted by Mr. B. Gogoi, learned Standing Counsel for the Health Department that the process of selection is already over and since the petition er was an applicant and was a candidate, the only right that the petitioner has is a consideration of his candidature along with other applicants and no special preference can be shown to the petitioner. I have perused the order passed by this Court on 12.5.2008 and the claim made in the instant petition. I am of the considered opinion that recruitment t o the advertised post has to be made on merit of the candidates and no preferenc e can be shown in favour of any applicant. Accordingly I see no justification to entertain this petition and the sa me is accordingly dismissed.
