IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP(T) No. 12654 of 2008. Date of decision: 19.7.2010 Chaman Singh ….. Petitioner. Vs. State of H.P. and others …. Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kuldip Singh, Judge. For the Petitioner : Mr. Bhupender Thakur, Advocate vice Mr. Rahul Chopra,Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K.Sharma, Sr. Additional Advocate General, for respondent No.1 to 3. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The petitioner is aggrieved by selection of the 5th respondent as Primary Assistant Teacher. According to the petitioner, he had legitimate expectation of the selection being more meritorious candidate. However, it is seen from the reply furnished on behalf of respondents No. 1 to 3 that in the selection process the 5th respondent has obtained more marks than the petitioner. It is also seen from the proceedings that there were only four members in the selection process as provided under the guidelines. The selection having been conducted by a committee after duly assessing the respective merits of the candidates, in terms of the prescribed guidelines, this Court will not 2 be justified in substituting its own view. In that view of the matter, we find no merit in the writ petition which is accordingly dismissed. (Justice Kurian Joseph) Chief Justice July 19, 2010 (Justice Kuldip Singh), (sks/grs) Judge.
