1 D.B.Civil Special Appeal(Writ) No.816/08 Tara Chand Sharma V/s State of Raj. & anr. 22.7.2008 Hon'ble the Chief Justice Mr.Narayan Roy Hon'ble Mr.Justice Mohammad Rafiq Mr. Lokesh Parihar for the appellant. Heard learned counsel for the appellant. Aggrieved by the judgment dated 5th September, 2007 passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court, the appellant has filed this appeal. The learned Single Judge of this Court dismissed the writ petition of the appellant wherein he had prayed for direction to the respondents to appoint him on the post of Sanskrit Teacher Gr.III pursuant to advertisement issued in 1998. Learned counsel for the appellant has argued that the learned Single Judge of this Court erred in law in dismissing the writ application only because the matter remained pending before this Court for almost a decade. He has further argued that on merits also, the learned Single Judge has erred in dismissing the writ application as persons lower him in the merit list were appointed and he was ignored. He made reference to the cases of Uma Shankar Sharma, who, according to him, got only 59.57% marks and Kumari Seema Jain, who got only 59.57% marks and yet they were appointed and the petitioner even though secured 59.78% marks was ignored. The respondents have denied the aforesaid assertion of the petitioner in their counter and 2 have categorically stated that the petitioner has secured only 53.51% marks whereas the last candidate appointed in the general category has secured 60.39% marks. They have denied the averment of the petitioner that persons below him in the merit list were appointed and he was ignored. In view of the above, we do not find any merit in the case of the appellant. The learned Single Judge was therefore justified in dismissing the writ application. This appeal is, therefore, dismissed.
