1 wp3986.10 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE WRIT PETITION NO.3986 OF 2010 Shri Kalidas Vamanrao Lokhande : Petitioner V/s. The Secretary, Water Resources Division & Ors. : Respondents .... Mr.Sanjay Kshirsagar for the petitioner. Mr.S.R.Nargolkar, Asstt. Govt. Pleader for the respondents. .... CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR,JJ. DATE : JULY 15, 2010. P.C.: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Asstt. Govt. Pleader for the respondents. 2. This Writ Petition is directed against the order dated 26.11.2009 passed by the Tribunal whereby the Original Application filed by the petitioner came to be dismissed. 3. Considered the contentions canvassed by the respective counsel 2 wp3986.10 and perused the impugned order. Perusal of the impugned order shows that the advertisement dated 18.4.2008 issued by the authorities did show that one of the 28 posts of Watchmen in Pune district was to be reserved for SC-PAP candidates. However, the Irrigation Research & Development Directorate, Pune, vide its letter dated 12.9.2008 revised its requisition showing that no post of Watchman from SC-PAP category was available at the relevant time. Therefore, the authorities could not issue the appointment order insofar as the petitioner is concerned who had applied for from Project Affected Person (PAP) category. It is not in dispute that the authorities reserved the right to issue corrigendum in case of change in the total number of vacant posts and their categorywise distribution. In view of this fact, the petitioner as well as others who have applied pursuant to the advertisement dated 18.4.2008 knew that in case of change, right was reserved by the Department to issue appropriate corrigendum. 4. In the instant case, since there was no vacancy available at the relevant time, the findings recorded by the Tribunal in the impugned order, in our view, are sustainable in law. No case is made out for showing any indulgence. 3 wp3986.10 5. Writ Petition is dismissed. (D.D. SINHA, J.) (MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR,J.)
