Mr.N.B.Patil, AGP, for respondents. ... CORAM:B.R.GAVAI AND K.U.CHANDIWAL, JJ. DATE: 21/9/2010 ... 1. By way of present petition the present petitioner challenges the order dt.8th March, 2010, passed by the learned Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal, thereby rejecting the Original Application filed by the present petitioner. The petitioner was selected against a seat reserved for Nomadic Tribes (C) (Sports). After selection, the certificates of the petitioner were sent for verification to the Competent Authority. The Competent Authority found that the 2 certificates submitted by the petitioners were not in conformity with the Government Resolution dt. 30th April, 2005. As such, the appointment order was denied to the petitioner. Being aggrieved thereby, the petitioner preferred the Original Application. The same is dismissed. Hence, the present petition. 2. Shri A.G.Magare, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, submits that the learned Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal has misread the Government Resolution. He submits that holders of the first, second or third rank or the Gold, Silver and Bronze medals are not only the persons entitled for preference. It is submitted that the said question would arise if there are two competing persons available and, therefore, the petitioner ought to have been given appointment from the category of "Sports Person". 3 3. Perusal of the Government Resolution would reveal that a candidate, to be appointed from the Sports category, must have participated in the State level competition and that too, organized by the Maharashtra Olympic Association or any Association affiliated to it and in the said State level competition, ought to have secured either first, second or third post or, ought to have secured silver, gold or bronze medal. No infirmity is noticed in the order passed by the Competent Authority. The petition is dismissed. (K.U.CHANDIWAL) ( B.R.GAVAI) JUDGE JUDGE ... AGP/2728-10wp
