The District Collector, Nanded, Dist.Nanded, 2. The Selection Committee, Nanded, Through its Secretary, namely Residential Deputy Collector, Nanded, Dist. Nanded. 3. The State of Maharashtra, Through its Secretary, Revenue and Forest Department, Mantralaya, Mumbai. RESPONDENTS Mr.A.N.Nagargoje, learned counsel for petitioner. Mr.K.B.Chaudhary, learned AGP for respondents. (CORAM : P.V.HARDAS AND A.V.POTDAR, J.J.) DATE : 31/07/2009 PER COURT : 1. This is a petition under Article 226 of The Constitution of India, 2 by which the petitioner challenges the subsequent selection process undertaken by the respondents by selection of the candidates for the post of Clerk-cum-typist. 2. It appears that earlier an advertisement had been issued and pursuant thereto the petitioner and others had participated in the selection process which consisted of written examination and oral interview. This had been concluded somewhere around on 28/01/2009. The selection list however was not displayed and thereafter an advertisement came to be issued in the local newspaper informing the candidates who had appeared in the earlier round of selection that as certain malpractice had been noticed while evaluating the answer-sheets, the performance of the candidates in the earlier round was cancelled and it was decided to hold the written examination afresh. The respondents also indicated in the advertisement that only those candidates who had passed in the earlier round of selection would alone be entitled to participate. The format of the written examination was changed in as much as the marks allotted for oral interview were done away with. By this petition therefore the petitioner challenges the said selection process. 3. Shri.Nagargoje, learned counsel for petitioner has very candidly admitted that the petitioner is in receipt of the admission form and in all probability would be participated in the selection process commencing from 02/08/2009. Apart from that, no fault can be found with the respondents in conducting the examination afresh as 3 the advertisement itself discloses that certain irregularities had been brought to the notice of the authorities and therefore the entire selection process had been cancelled. The respondents authority have been extremely fair in permitting only those candidates who had participated in the earlier round of selection to participate in the present selection round. 4. In the light of that, we do not find that any case has been made out by the petitioner for intervening in the exercise of the extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 and 227 of The Constitution of India. In the light of that, petition is summarily dismissed with no order as to costs. (A.V.POTDAR, J.) (P.V.HARDAS, J.) khs/JULY 2009/wp4990-09
