JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY The petitioner who claims appointment to the post of Assistant Teacher against h andicapped category has approached this Court alleging denial of appointment for extraneous consideration. However in the affidavit filed by the Director of Elementary Education, Assam (respondent No.5), it is reflected that only 3 posts were available for ap pointment of teachers in Dhubri district against the category of visual handicap ped candidates and the name of the petitioner is at Sl. No.11 of the concerned m erit list. Accordingly it is averred that because of limited vacancies and the p etitioner’s merit position at Sl. No. 11, he could not be considered for appoint ment. Having regard to the above stand of the respondents and after considerin g the submissions made by Mr. A. Roshid, learned counsel appearing for the petit ioner and Ms. M. Gogoi, learned Standing Counsel for the Education department, I find no reason to admit this writ petition and accordingly the same is dismisse d.
