The only grievance of the petitioner is that three post of teachers are to be filled up from the candidates of reserve category of Scheduled Caste, but the committee of management of the College concerned had not initiated any selection process for the appointment from the reserved/backward classes. Having gone through the record, it is evident that the petitioner did not make any representation to the respondent 3- District Education Officer concerned, rather a copy of the representation addressed to the Principal Inter College Kotalgaon Patti Bhadura, Tehri Garhwal was endorsed to the authorities including respondent no.3.
