WP 6554/11 1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.6554/2011 Dinesh Ramesh Bhamare V/s The State & others. _______________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | Shri S.S. Patil, Advocate for petitioner. Shri S.K. Tambe, AGP for respondent no.1. CORAM: B.R. GAVAI & M.T. JOSHI, JJ. Date: 07.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the respective parties. By way of present petition, the petitioner challenges the order passed by the learned Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal thereby rejecting the Original Application filed by the present petitioner. The petitioner was appointed as Peon against the post reserved for scheduled caste sportsman. Subsequently finding that the certificate produced by the petitioner did WP 6554/11 2 not qualify the norms required for sportsman category, his services came to be terminated. Being aggrieved thereby, the Original Application was filed by the petitioner before the MAT. Shri S.S. Patil, learned counsel for the petitioner, submits that even otherwise, the petitioner is the only candidate from the scheduled caste category and as such even if it is found that he is not entitled from scheduled caste sports category, he would be eligible to be appointed. The reservation is specifically for scheduled caste sportsman category. The other post reserved for scheduled caste at Nandurbar is for scheduled caste woman. As such the persons belonging to scheduled caste open category could not have applied against the said post. Had the persons from scheduled caste open category a knowledge that even an ineligible person from sportsman category could be considered, they could have very well competed for the WP 6554/11 3 said post. The petitioner cannot be given benefit of his own fault. The petition is, therefore, rejected. (M.T. Joshi, J.) (B.R. Gavai, J.) Dt/- 07.09.2011 ndk/c79115
