KODE, JJ. DATED : 06.06.2011. Heard Shri V.D. Muley, the learned Counsel for the petitioner and Shri A.D. Sonak, the learned A.G.P. for respondent nos. 1 and 2. The Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal has found that the preference could have been given to the petitioner had he secured marks equal to the marks secured by the respondent no.4. Admittedly, the respondent no.4 has secured more marks than petitioner. The contention is, the condition requiring 2 giving of preference to a local candidate does not contemplate the marks as relevant norm. We find the contention misconceived. The Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal has applied its mind correctly. Writ Petition is, thus dismissed. No costs. JUDGE JUDGE Rgd
