THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 14711 of 2005 Date: 23.10.2007 Between: S. Krishna Naik. ..... PETITIONER AND The Chief Manager (Personal), S.B.H. Personal Department, Head Office at Gunfoundry, Hyderabad. .....RESPONDENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 14711 of 2005 Order: The petitioner, in response to the notification dated 18.03.2005, issued by the respondent-Bank, which is exclusively meant for the Scheduled Tribe candidates, applied for the post of Peon, and appeared for the interview conducted on 09.05.2005. The grievance of the petitioner is that though he is having requisite qualifications and sports certificates and eligible for appointment to the post of Peon, the respondent-Bank has not considered his case for appointment to the said post, and on the other hand, the respondent-Bank selected the candidates, who are not having requisite qualifications, and sent them for medical examination. Hence, he filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent-Bank. The respondent-Bank filed a counter affidavit denying the allegations of the petitioner. At the time of hearing, the learned counsel for the respondent-Bank also produced the relevant record reflecting the marks secured by the candidates in the interview. A perusal of the said record clearly shows that as against 45 vacancies notified for appointment, about 741 candidates appeared for the interview, and the last selected candidate secured 84 marks, while the petitioner secured only 50 marks. Since the marks secured by the petitioner are far less than the last selected candidate, no exception can be taken to the action of the respondent-Bank in not considering the case of the petitioner for selection to the post of Peon. The writ petition is devoid of merit and the same is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 23.10.2007 Nsr
