The Principal, Gopalganj College, Gopalganj. ----------- 6 26.4.2011 The petitioners, in both these writ applications, had been working in a constituent College, Gopalganj of Jai Prakash University. It was found that they had not been duly recruited on sanctioned posts and as such having served for over ten years ,their services were terminated. Some of them came to this Court and this Court noticing that they had worked for a considerable period directed that University should take steps to 2 permanently fill up the vacancies in the said College after adopting due process of law. It was also observed that so far as petitioners and their like are concerned, they should be given age relaxation plus weightage of their experience. Advertisement was duly issued and all the petitioners ,apart from several others similarly situated persons, applied. The petitioners, not having been selected, have challenged the selection process before this Court. A detailed counter affidavit was directed to be filed by the University, which has been filed. On record the University has brought the entire process to show that the age relaxation and other considerations were made. The persons, who have been selected are similarly situated retrenched persons, who were petitioners in the earlier writ petition . There being about forty five applicants for eight posts, majority had to face the selection process. Having examined the materials on record, in my view, the selection process does not stand vitiated in any manner. The petitioners received fair consideration but could not be selected. In that view of the matter, the writ petitions lack merit and are dismissed accordingly. Singh ( Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
