However, in the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>interest of administrative exigency, the senior most teacher of the College was<\/p>\n<p>permitted to be made Professor In-charge to function and discharge the duties of<\/p>\n<p>Principal.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.           The petitioner, Rajendra Kumar, appellant in L.P.A No.534\/2002 had<\/p>\n<p>filed the writ petition against the decision dated 6.11.2000 taken by the Governing<\/p>\n<p>Body of K.S.G.M College, Nirsa, whereby and whereunder the respondent no.7 in<\/p>\n<p>the writ petition, Dr.M.C.P Shaw, had been appointed on the post of Principal of<\/p>\n<p>K.S.G.M College and the Governing Body of the College had appointed him<\/p>\n<p>(respondent no.7) in pursuance of the recommendation made by the Bihar College<\/p>\n<p>Service Commission, as it then existed.         The petitioner-appellant, Rajendra<\/p>\n<p>Kumar, had     assailed the decision appointing respondent no.7 on the post of<\/p>\n<p>Principal of K.S.G.M College essentially on the plea that he was not having the<\/p>\n<p>requisite 12 years of teaching experience        as per the advertisement on a<\/p>\n<p>sanctioned post of Lecturer, which was the requirement even as per the<\/p>\n<p>advertisement, nor he was possessing 1st Class post-graduate degree, which was<\/p>\n<p>the requirement as per the guidelines of All India Council for Technical Education.<\/p>\n<p>3.           The petitioner had filed the writ petition on the averment that he was<\/p>\n<p>a better qualified person than the respondent no.7, as he was possessing 1st Class<\/p>\n<p>post-graduate degree in Commerce and was also having the requisite teaching<\/p>\n<p>experience of 12 years on a sanctioned post of Lecturer, which were the essential<\/p>\n<p>qualifications in terms of the advertisement. According to his contention, he was<\/p>\n<p>wrongly denied appointment of Principal in the College by the Selection<\/p>\n<p>Committee of the Bihar College Service Commission and the Bihar College<\/p>\n<p>Service Commission indulged in illegality and irregularity by recommending the<\/p>\n<p>name of respondent no.7 for appointment on the post of Principal, who was neither<\/p>\n<p>having the requisite teaching experience, as per the petitioner, nor possessed<\/p>\n<p>better qualification than the petitioner, Rajendra Kumar.<\/p>\n<p>4.           The learned Single Judge entered into a scrutiny of the respective<\/p>\n<p>qualifications of the contesting parties, viz the petitioner, Rajendra Kumar and the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>respondent no.7, Dr.M.C.P Shaw, and was finally pleased to hold that neither the<\/p>\n<p>respondent no.7 was having the requisite teaching experience of 12 years, nor the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner, Rajendra Kumar, was possessing the teaching experience of 12 years<\/p>\n<p>on a sanctioned post and therefore, the learned Single Judge was pleased to allow<\/p>\n<p>the prayer of the petitioner, Rajendra Kumar, only to the extent by which the<\/p>\n<p>appointment of respondent no.7 was quashed and set aside and             an interim<\/p>\n<p>arrangement was ordered to be adopted by the Governing Body of the College by<\/p>\n<p>deputing the senior most teacher as the Professor In-charge to discharge the<\/p>\n<p>duties of the Principal of the College. This is how, these two Letters Patent<\/p>\n<p>Appeals have been preferred &#8211; one by the petitioner, Rajendra Kumar and the<\/p>\n<p>other by the respondent no.7, Dr.M.C.P Shaw, as both are aggrieved against the<\/p>\n<p>impugned order and judgment of the learned Single Judge.<\/p>\n<p>5.           The appellant, Rajendra Kumar, in L.P.A No.534\/2002 is aggrieved<\/p>\n<p>of the fact that although the appointment of respondent no.7 has been quashed<\/p>\n<p>and set aside by the learned Single Judge, further direction for granting<\/p>\n<p>appointment to the petitioner by holding him better suited for the post of Principal<\/p>\n<p>was not accepted and it was wrongly held by the learned Single Judge that he did<\/p>\n<p>not have the requisite teaching experience of 12 years by drawing an inference<\/p>\n<p>from the fact that after the retirement of two Professors in the Department of<\/p>\n<p>History, no appointment of Lecturer in the Department of History had been made<\/p>\n<p>by the concerned authority, from which an erroneous inference was drawn that the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner was not having the requisite teaching experience.<\/p>\n<p>6.           The counsel for the petitioner-appellant, Rajendra Kumar, submitted<\/p>\n<p>that the petitioner-appellant, Rajendra Kumar, was never a Lecturer in the<\/p>\n<p>Department of History and all-through he was Lecturer in the Department of<\/p>\n<p>Commerce and therefore, the inference drawn by the learned Single Judge from<\/p>\n<p>the fact that no Lecturer had been appointed in the Department of History was<\/p>\n<p>clearly contrary   to the established fact. The counsel for the appellant, Rajendra<\/p>\n<p>Kumar, also submitted that even if it were to be held that the respondent no.7 was<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                         4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>not having the required teaching experience, in view of the elaboration made by<\/p>\n<p>the counsel for the respondent no.7 that the respondent no.7 had been appointed<\/p>\n<p>as Lecturer in the Department of History in the year 1980 and had applied for the<\/p>\n<p>post of Principal in the year 1998, he had already acquired 18 years of teaching<\/p>\n<p>experience by that time and therefore, the finding recorded by the learned Single<\/p>\n<p>Judge with regard to respondent no.7 was also erroneous and that was the plea<\/p>\n<p>taken by the counsel for the respondent no.7 in both the Letters Patent Appeals &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>one of which has been filed by Rajendra Kumar and the other which has been filed<\/p>\n<p>by Dr.M.C.P Shaw, assailing the judgment and order of the learned Single Judge.<\/p>\n<p>7.           Confronted with the effect of the aforesaid argument advanced on<\/p>\n<p>behalf of the respondent no.7, it was submitted on behalf of the appellant,<\/p>\n<p>Rajendra Kumar, that even if it were to be accepted that the respondent no.7 was<\/p>\n<p>possessing the requisite teaching experience of 12 years on a sanctioned post, he<\/p>\n<p>was less qualified than the petitioner, Rajendra Kumar, as the petitioner was<\/p>\n<p>possessing 1st class post-graduate degree in Commerce, whereas respondent<\/p>\n<p>no.7 was possessing only a 2nd class degree in post-graduation and therefore, the<\/p>\n<p>Commission made a subjective assessment of the qualification of the contesting<\/p>\n<p>parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.           This part of the argument again was dispelled by the counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>respondent no.7, appellant in L.P.A No.535\/2002, as it was submitted that in the<\/p>\n<p>light of the advertisement, the Selection Committee was fully justified in granting<\/p>\n<p>the appointment to respondent no.7 as the essential qualifications indicated in the<\/p>\n<p>advertisement were that the applicant should possess minimum 12 year of<\/p>\n<p>teaching experience on a sanctioned post and he should be possessing 1st class<\/p>\n<p>post-graduate degree or high 2nd class post-graduate degree with consistent<\/p>\n<p>academic records which were to be counted from class ten upto the post-<\/p>\n<p>graduation level. The counsel for the respondent no.7, appellant in          L.P.A<\/p>\n<p>No.535\/2002, further explained that in view of the requirements indicated in the<\/p>\n<p>advertisement, the Selection Committee was fully justified in taking an overall<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                           5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>view of the academic excellence of the respondent no.7, who was possessing 1st<\/p>\n<p>division in Matriculation, 2nd division in Intermediate (I.A), Graduation and post-<\/p>\n<p>graduation, whereas the petitioner had secured 3rd division in Matriculation,<\/p>\n<p>Intermediate (I.Com.) and only in post-graduation level, he secured 1st class,<\/p>\n<p>which could hardly be a reason weighty enough to disqualify him (respondent<\/p>\n<p>no.7) from being appointed on the post of Principal, as the Selection Committee<\/p>\n<p>was fully justified in assessing the overall record of the contesting applicants.<\/p>\n<p>9.            Learned counsel for the respondent no.7 also relied upon an<\/p>\n<p>authority reported in 2000(1) PLJR 319 (Rajeev Ranan &amp; Ors. Vs. State of Bihar<\/p>\n<p>&amp; Ors.) to contend that the selection made by a Selection Committee is not fit to<\/p>\n<p>be reassessed by a court of law, when there is no apparent justification for doing<\/p>\n<p>the same. He went to the extent of contending that as per that judgment, the court<\/p>\n<p>of law should never ever interfere with the selection which has been made by the<\/p>\n<p>Selection Committee.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.           While we do not accept the contention of the counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>respondent no.7, appellant in L.P.A No.535\/2002, that the Court, under no<\/p>\n<p>circumstance, should question the decision of the          Selection Committee, we<\/p>\n<p>nevertheless accept the position that the selection made by a Committee of<\/p>\n<p>experts should normally not be interfered by a court of law, unless it results in<\/p>\n<p>gross miscarriage of justice to the affected party and the attending facts and<\/p>\n<p>circumstance compel the Court to interfere. The case at hand does not fall within<\/p>\n<p>the said bracket and therefore, we find force in the argument of the counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>respondent no.7, appellant of L.P.A No.535\/2002, that the respondent no.7,<\/p>\n<p>Dr.M.C.P Shaw, over-all was better qualified than the petitioner, Rajendra Kumar.<\/p>\n<p>11.           In fact, the learned Single Judge had not entered into all those<\/p>\n<p>aspects and had merely gone into the scrutiny as to whether the contesting parties<\/p>\n<p>were having the requisite teaching experience of 12 years on a sanctioned post or<\/p>\n<p>not. While doing so, the learned Single Judge had been pleased to draw an<\/p>\n<p>erroneous inference on the sole ground that no appointment had been made after<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                           6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the retirement of two teachers in the Department of History, which is factually<\/p>\n<p>incorrect and would be reflected from the discussions recorded hereinbefore. The<\/p>\n<p>respondent no.7, Dr.M.C.P Shaw, was appointed as a Lecturer on a sanctioned<\/p>\n<p>post in the year 1980 and as already stated, he had already acquired 18 years of<\/p>\n<p>teaching experience on the date of his application, although only 12 years of<\/p>\n<p>teaching experience was required for the post. In so far as the academic<\/p>\n<p>qualification is concerned, we have noticed, as indicated hereinbefore, that his<\/p>\n<p>academic performance was better than that of the petitioner, Rajendra Kumar, as<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner, Rajendra Kumar, although was having 1st class post-graduate<\/p>\n<p>degree, his (petitioner&#8217;s) track record right from class ten was not upto the mark. In<\/p>\n<p>that view of the matter, the Selection Committee thought it appropriate that an<\/p>\n<p>over-all consideration of the academic excellence was more suited for the post<\/p>\n<p>and then granted appointment. It would be legally impermissible for the Court to<\/p>\n<p>substitute its own opinion over the decision taken by the Selection Committee,<\/p>\n<p>which recommended in favour of respondent no.7 for the post of Principal.<\/p>\n<p>12.           In view of the aforesaid discussion, we do not see any ground to<\/p>\n<p>interfere with the view taken by the Bihar College Service Commission and<\/p>\n<p>therefore, we dismiss L.P.A No.534\/2002 preferred by the petitioner, Rajendra<\/p>\n<p>Kumar.\n<\/p>\n<p>13.           In so far as L.P.A No.535\/2002 preferred by respondent no.7,<\/p>\n<p>Dr.M.C.P Shaw, is concerned, it is fit to be allowed for the reasons recorded<\/p>\n<p>hereinbefore. In fact, it was brought to the notice that by virtue of an interim order,<\/p>\n<p>respondent no.7 has been continuing on the post of Principal and has by now<\/p>\n<p>completed several years on the post of Principal and his selection having been<\/p>\n<p>found to be legal and proper, we see no justification to interfere with his<\/p>\n<p>continuance on the post of Principal. The direction of the learned Single Judge<\/p>\n<p>permitting   the senior most teacher of the College as Professor In-charge to<\/p>\n<p>discharge the duties of Principal stands quashed and set aside and his<\/p>\n<p>appointment on the post of Principal shall continue in terms of the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                      7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>recommendation made by the Bihar College Service Commission, which has been<\/p>\n<p>accepted by the Governing Body of K.S.G.M College. Accordingly, L.P.A<\/p>\n<p>No.535\/2002 stands allowed but under the circumstance without any order as to<\/p>\n<p>costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                         (Gyan Sudha Misra.C.J.)<\/p>\n<p>                                            (D.K.Sinha.,J.)<\/p>\n<p>Jharkhand High Court,Ranchi<br \/>\nThe 13th January, 2009<br \/>\nAFR\/Dey\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jharkhand High Court Dr. M.C.P.Shaw vs State Of Jharkhand &amp;
