ARWAL ----------- 2/ 08/02/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. The grievance is against alleged denial of benefit of appointment for the only reason that he possesses the qualification of Madhyama which is equivalent to Matriculation, notwithstanding which his candidature is not being considered. Reliance is placed on an order of this Court dated 4.8.2008 in C.W.J.C. No.4157/08 and analogous cases referring to a Government Policy dated 11.1.1991 that Madhyama was to be treated as equivalent to Matriculation. If that be the only ground, let the respondents consider the case of the petitioners for 2 appointment appropriately on the post of Tola Sewak within a maximum period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. KC/ ( Navin Sinha, J.)
