One of the requisite qualifications was that the candidate should be holding a driving licence for light and heavy vehicles, with at least five years experience. Petitioner applied for that post and submitted application, copy Annexure A-2. With that application, he submitted driving licence, copy Annexure A-3. Driving licence was issued in favour of the petitioner in September, 1999. Initially, it was for motor-cycle and LMV–non-transport. Then it was endorsed for LMV-transport w.e.f. October, 2000. For HTV (heave transport vehicle), it was endorsed on 11.2.2003. Whet her report ers of t he l ocal papers may be al l owed t o see t he j udgment ? É2É 2. Petitioner ‘s application was not entertained, on the ground that he did not have the requisite experience of five years driving heavy transport vehicle. Petitioner’s grievance is that he having experience of driving light motor vehicle for five years and also having experience of driving heavy transport vehicle for about 4 years, his application should not have been rejected, as the advertisement did not state that the applicant should have five years experience, in respect of each kind of two vehicles. 3. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record. 4. From the advertisement, it is clear that candidate was supposed to have not less than five yers experience in driving light vehicles as also heavy vehicles,which means, that he ought to have had the experience of driving both kind of vehicles for not less than five years, independent of each other. Consequently, petition is dismissed. May 20, 2011 (ss) (Surjit Singh), J.
