Admittedly, the petitioner belongs to Scheduled Caste category and has filed his application stating the said fact. The advertisement against which the petitioner has applied has been annexed at page 16 of the writ petition. The said advertisement shows that only two posts had been advertised by the A.N. Sinha Institute of Social Studies, Patna- one of Lecturer reserved for B.C.1 and other of Reader for General category, in Social Sciences. - 2 - It is thus evident that the petitioner’s application for the post of Lecturer could not have been considered as the said post had been reserved for BC 1 category and so far as the other post of Reader is concerned, the petitioner does not lay any claim to it before this Court. Learned counsel for the petitioner relies upon certain queries made and the reply received therefrom under the R.T.I. Act, which speaks regarding vacancies of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. However, any answer received under the R.T.I Act cannot improve upon the advertisement and confer a right in the matter on the basis of which the petitioner can seek a writ to be issued from this Court. In the above circumstances, this Court does not find any merit in the writ petition and it is, accordingly, dismissed. VPS ( Ramesh Kumar Datta, J. )
