1.\tThis
\npetition and other petitions filed by the petitioners, have invoked
\nthe extraordinary jurisdiction of this court under Article 226 of the
\nconstitution of India, with a prayer to quash and set aside the
\nwritten test held on 2.1.2011 in pursuance  to the circular no. 9028,
\nfor the post of Conductor with respondent – Corporation, and
\nfurther to quash and set aside the said Circular No. 9028, as it is
\nwithout jurisdiction and contrary to earlier GSO No. 1017\/1994 and
\n1022\/1994.\n<\/p>\n
2.\tThe
\nrespondent- Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation, by issuing a
\npublic advertisement on 20.9.2010, invited the applications for the
\npost of conductor and forms to be filled-in by on-line. As per the
\nabove advertisement, there were about 2984 vacant posts of conductor
\nthrough out the State of Gujarat, and for the said post of conductor,
\na fixed salary of Rs. 4500\/- is to be paid for the first five years,
\nand upon considering the tenure and availability of vacancies,
\npermanency was to be conferred on such selected and appointed
\ncandidates. The respondents-corporation has given weightage to the
\nvarious categories, including the reserved class and OBC and had
\nevolved the method for considering the academic qualifications of the
\ncandidates, and accordingly, a basic merit for permitting such
\ncandidates to participate in further selection was to be considered.
\nIt is not in dispute that 43944 candidates have applied for 2984
\nposts of conductor and a written test was conducted on 2.1.2011 at
\ndifferent centres of Gujarat and eligible candidates were selected,
\nand later on, appointments were given and even waiting list was also
\nprepared.\n<\/p>\n
3.\tMr.\n<\/p>\n
Kishor M. Paul, learned advocate for the petitioners, at the outset,
\nwould submit that conducting the written examination by the
\nrespondent-corporation is contrary to earlier GSO, i.e., General
\nStanding Order No. 1017\/1994, by which, it was decided to do away
\nwith the system of elimination test by way of multiple choice
\nquestions. It is further submitted that one  such decision is taken
\nand it is reflected in GSO, and subsequent decision taken by a group
\nof officers empowered as per Resolution No. 9028 to conduct the
\nexamination, is illegal and such kind of sub-delegation by the
\nCorporation is not permissible and provisions of GSO No. 1017\/1994
\nwill prevail over any resolution or decision of GSRTC. It is further
\nsubmitted that petitioner no. 1 had enough qualification and whose
\nname was sent by the Employment Exchange Office, Rajkot to the Zonal
\nOffice of GSRTC, at Rajkot, and he was permitted to apply through
\non-line without payment of any fee, but the said petitioner  is also
\nnot even called for the written examination.\n<\/p>\n
\tAccording
\nto learned advocate for the petitioners, conduct of written
\nexamination by the respondent – GSRTC, is illegal and it is a glaring
\nexample of mismanagement on the part of respondent –
\ncorporation, which has deprived the eligible candidates from
\ncontesting for the post in question. It is further submitted that
\ninspite of representation made pursuant to the order dated 11.1.2011
\npassed by this Court in Special Civil Application No. 56\/2011, the
\ncase of the petitioners is not considered in proper perspective and
\nthe reply given by the respondent- corporation is evasive and
\nuntenable in law, and therefore, appropriate directions be given to
\nthe respondent – corporation to consider the case of the
\npetitioners for the post of conductor, as prayed for.\n<\/p>\n
4.\tUpon
\nperusal of the record and submissions made by the learned advocate
\nfor the petitioners, I am not inclined to accept any of the
\nsubmissions made by the learned advocate for the petitioners and if
\nGeneral Standing Order No. 1017\/1994 is closely perused, it refers to
\nearlier GSO No. 985 dated 28.9.1992 and GSO No. 987 dated 13.11.1992.
\nIt further establishes that by GSO No. 985 dated 28.9.1992 practice
\nof conducting objective type of test was prevalent with GSRTC, but in
\na meeting consisting of Vice Chairman and Managing Director, after
\nconsidering the relevant aspects for the post of conductor and
\nselection procedure to be undertaken, a decision was taken to cancel
\nsuch objective type of written examination and it was decided not to
\ntake written examination, as above, for the said post. Accordingly,
\ncertain instructions were issued on 19.9.1994 by the Vice Chairman
\nand Managing Director of GSRTC, Ahmedabad and concerned offices.\n<\/p>\n
\tThat
\nanother GSO No. 1022\/1994 is perused, it refers to earlier GSO,
\nnamely, No. 999\/1993 dated 12.8.1993, No. 1019\/1994 dated 11.11.1994
\nand No. 1021\/1994 dated 22.11.1994, and it also reiterates that
\ncandidates are to be called in for interview\ton the basis of
\nweightage given to their academic qualifications. It further provides
\nbasic academic qualifications and other such procedure.\n<\/p>\n
\tWhen
\nthe advertisement dated 20.9.2010 for the post of conductor was
\ngiven, 2984 vacancies were available, and the respondent- corporation
\nhad received 43944 applications from eligible candidates, who were
\nqualified as per the prescribed norms. When such huge number of
\napplications were received, in view of administrative hardship and
\nexigencies, high ranking officers, consisting of Vice Chairman and
\nManaging Director of GSRTC and two other Directors, who were also
\nfunctioning as Commissioner of Transport and Additional Secretary,
\nEconomic Affairs, Department of Finance, Government of Gujarat and
\nthe Chairman of GSRTC who was also Additional Chief Secretary,
\nDepartment of Transport, Government of Gujarat, collectively decided
\nthat the proposal pursuant to the circular\/resolution were to be
\nconsidered and all powers pertaining to conducting of examination,
\netc. were to be given to the Vice President and Managing Director,
\nGSRTC, and accordingly, Resolution No. 9028 was passed. The above
\ndecision was taken by the Chairman, Vice Chairman and Managing
\nDirector of GSRTC, including two Directors, who were also
\nCommissioner of Transport and Additional Secretary, Department of
\nFinance, to conduct a written examination   in view of receipt of
\nabout 43944 applications for rational scrutiny in accordance with the
\nweightage prescribed in GSO No. 1022\/1994 and candidates were called
\nand selected, cannot be said to be unreasonable, arbitrary or illegal
\nexercise of power. Even by GSO No. 1017\/1994, it was decided for the
\ntime being to do away with the objective type of test. It seems that
\nthe said decision was taken only by the high ranking officers
\nincluding the Vice Chairman and Managing Director. At the same time,
\nthe decision taken vide Resolution No. 9028, is not only taken by the
\nVice Chairman and Managing Director, but also by the Chairman of
\nGSRTC, who happens to be the Additional Chief Secretary, Port &
\nTransport Department and other two Directors. Such collective
\ndecision taken by the Board of Directors to cope up with the
\nunprecedented situation and dealing with more than 43000 applicants
\nand further rationalizing the process of selection, cannot be said to
\nbe in any manner, a decision contrary to the earlier GSO No.
\n1017\/1994 or any other rules or regulation of the GSRTC –
\nrespondent herein.\n<\/p>\n
5.\tUpon
\na representation made by the petitioners,  and after considering the
\nindividual case of the aggrieved persons, General Manager,
\nAdministration, has communicated on 27.1.2011, by which, it is
\nrevealed that the grievances of the petitioners were considered by
\nthe competent officer, as directed by the High Court in its earlier
\norder dated 11.1.2011 and by following the procedure of GSO No.
\n1021\/1994 and 1022\/1994 about giving due weightage to academic
\nqualifications, experience, etc. only 9000 candidates were called for
\nagainst the vacancies of 2984 for the post of conductor, which
\nappears to be just and reasonable, meaning thereby, more than three
\ntimes of vacancies, candidates were called and after undergoing all
\nthe procedure, qualified and eligible candidates came to be selected.\n<\/p>\n
\tIn
\nthe above scenario, if any of the petitioners who have not fulfilled
\nany of the eligibility criteria, as prescribed by following the
\nmethod of weightage to be given as per GSO No. 1021\/1994 and
\n1022\/1994 by the respondent- GSRTC, and name of such candidate or
\ncandidates have not been reflected in the selection\/waiting list, it
\ncannot be said that the respondent- GSRTC has taken a decision
\ncontrary to law. A perusal of communication dated 27.1.2011 by the
\ncompetent officer of the Corporation, do not reveal any irregularity
\nor illegality on the part of the respondent- corporation in
\nundertaking the selection process for the post of conductor, I deem
\nit just and proper to reject the petitions.\n<\/p>\n
6.\tIn
\nview of above, all the petitions are summarily rejected with no order
\nas to costs.\n<\/p>\n
