(Oral) The petitioner has approached this Court with certain grievances regarding selection and appointment of tailoring teacher. In the reply at paras 3 and 6(iv), it is stated as follows: “(3) The contents of this para is denied. The selection of the tailoring teachers have been made purely on merit basis and as per the selection criteria laid down vide notification No. PCH-HC(10)3/96 dated 8th October, 1996 which is annexed as Annexure R-I. Moreover the applicant was to be considered only to her home panchayat i.e. Gram Panchayat Indora and merit list of tailoring teacher was prepared panchayatwise not blockwise. It is, therefore, wrong to allege that the selection of persons lower in merit has been made. 6(iv) Not admitted. The fact is that the applicant has only applied for the post of tailoring 2 teacher at tailoring center Indora, rather than all the tailoring centers in Indora Block for which the interview were held as revaled from the application of the applicant annexed as Annexure R-II. The selection of candidates for these centers was done in accordance with the guidelines and instructions issued by the HP Government vide notification (Annexure R-I). As per notification dated 21.6.97 annexed as annexure R-III the tailoring teachers were to be selected from the same Panchayat where the center was supposed to be opened. The candidates belong to other Panchayats were only to be considered in case of non-availability of any candidates from that particular Panchayat. Moreover it also was not possible for the candidates outside the Panchayat to get selection in other Panchayat as 20 marks were to be allotted being a local candidates, as per the formula approved by the Government vide notification (Annexure R-I). Three application were received from the Gram Panchayat Indora and Smt. Sunita Devi w/o Sh. Surinder Kumar mentioned at Sr. No.23 was declared selected who get 82.89 marks out of 1000. There was no justification to select Sunita Devi daughter of Shri Laxmi Dass mentioned at Sr. No.24 who got 81.63 marks out of 100 marks and stood second in the merit.” 2.
