IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
CWJC No.3866 of 2011
ROHAN RAI
Versus
THE LIFE INSURANCE CORPORATION OF INDIA & ORS
-----------
2. 3.3.2011 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits
that in terms of the advertisement for the post of
Assistant Administrative Officer (Generalist) issued by
the Life Insurance Corporation of India, the selection
was to be made on the basis of over all performance in
written test and interview. It is submitted by learned
counsel that the petitioner obtained 97 marks in the
written test and 8 marks in the interview and would
have accordingly qualified for selection under the OBC
category but contrary to the advertisement a separate
qualifying marks for interview was fixed at 10 marks
and on the basis of the same the petitioner was
disqualified. It is urged by learned counsel that the said
action of the respondent-authorities is not only contrary
to the advertisement but an attempt to exclude
candidates by giving arbitrary marks in the interview
process.
Learned counsel for the LIC of India prays
2
for and is granted four weeks time for filing counter
affidavit in the matter.
Put up on 31st March, 2011 among zero
cases in the main list.
In the meantime, the respondent authorities
of the LIC of India are directed to keep one post under
the OBC category reserved for the petitioner.
