By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to consider the candidature of the petitioner for appointment of Urdu Teacher in view of his better quality point marks and in the light of the order passed by this Hon’ble Court on 07.07.2009, in writ petition No. 384 of 2007 (S/S), Mohd.

The petitioner applied for said post and appeared in the written examination. Claim of the petitioner is that candidates having lesser quality points have been appointed for the post of Urdu Teacher. The petitioner had also sought information under the Right to Information Act, 2005, whereby it was informed by the Department on 17.04.2010 as the name of the petitioner did not figure in the select list and the petitioner was not party in the writ petition No. 1397 (S/S) of 2004, therefore, no action could be taken in the matter. During the course of arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that representation, made by the petitioner is still pending and prays that the same be decided with a reasoned and speaking order. The prayer made is innocuous. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction that respondent No. 3 shall decide the representation, moved by the petitioner within a period of six weeks from the date of production of certified copy of order of this Court, before him.
