LPA No. 1414 of 2010 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH LPA No. 1414 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: 28.10.2010 Reecha Madan .............Appellant Versus All India Counsel for Technical Edudcation New Delhi and others ............Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Shri H.S.Rakhra, Advocate, for the appellant. RANJAN GOGOI, J. : (Oral) Heard. The petitioner-appellant who has been unsuccessful in the selection for the post of Lecturer in Pharmaceutical Science in Maharishi Dayanand University, Rohtak has filed this appeal against the rejection of his writ petition. The two contentions urged before the learned Single Judge i.e. that there was no criteria for the selection and that the appellant is a better candidate than the selected candidate, has been reiterated before us. Additionally, it is submitted that the husband of the appellant had filed a writ petition against the University which fact has led to the non-selection of the appellant. In the present case the selection was made on the basis of an interview of the candidates. The same is a known and recognized method of LPA No. 1414 of 2010 (O&M) 2 recruitment. It is not the requirement of law that the parameters on the basis of which selection by interview is to be made should be laid down in advance. That the appellant is a better candidate than the person selected is an often repeated argument which has failed to find any favour with the courts. Determination of inter se merit of candidates is not the function of the court. In so far as the third ground urged is concerned, we are of the view that no cognizance of the same ought to be taken by us in the absence of any supporting materials. For the aforesaid reasons, we find no merit in this appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. No costs. C.M.No. 4283 of 2010 As the Letters Patent Appeal stands dismissed, no order is required to be passed on the application for condonation of delay.
