Aftab Alam,J.\n<\/p>\n
\n
1.     Leave granted.\n<\/p>\n
2.     This   appeal   is   directed   against   the   judgment <\/p>\n
passed by a Division Bench of the Jammu & Kashmir <\/p>\n
High Court by which it has allowed the intra-court <\/p>\n
appeal   filed   by   respondent   No.1,   set   aside   the <\/p>\n
judgment and order passed by a single Judge of the <\/p>\n
High   Court   dismissing   his   Writ   Petition   and <\/p>\n
directed the appellant-University to give seniority <\/p>\n
                               2<\/span><\/p>\n
to   respondent   No.1   on   the   post   of   Assistant <\/p>\n
Registrar and to pay him the salary for that post <\/p>\n
from the date respondents 4 and 5 were appointed to <\/p>\n
the post of Assistant Registrar.\n<\/p>\n
3.    The recruitment to the post of Deputy Registrar <\/p>\n
is   to   be   made   in   the   ratio   of   75%   by   direct <\/p>\n
recruitment and 25% by promotion and for the post <\/p>\n
of   Assistant   Registrar   in   the   ratio   of   50%   by <\/p>\n
direct   recruitment   and   50%   by   promotion   on   the <\/p>\n
basis of merit-cum-seniority from amongst eligible <\/p>\n
Section Officers and P.A.1-cum-Stenographers in the <\/p>\n
ratio   of   2:1   respectively.            The   appellant-<\/p>\n
University on March 1, 1996 issued an advertisement <\/p>\n
for   filling   up   the   posts   of   Deputy   Registrar   and <\/p>\n
Assistant   Registrar   by   direct   recruitment.     The <\/p>\n
minimum qualification prescribed for appointment as <\/p>\n
Assistant Registrar was as under:-<\/p>\n
      “Assistant Registrar<\/p>\n
          A   post-graduate   Degree   with   at   least
\n      55% marks or its equivalent grade.   Other
\n      things   being   equal,   preference   may   be
\n      given   to   candidate   having   knowledge   of
\n      computer applications.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                                 3<\/span><\/p>\n
           Note:-     In   service   employees   of   the
\n      University   holding   Bachelor’s   Degree   in
\n      any   discipline   and   fulfilling   other
\n      prescribed conditions shall be eligible to
\n      compete   for   appointment   to   the   post   of
\n      Assistant Deputy Registrar.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
4.    Respondent   No.1,   who   was   an   employee   of   the <\/p>\n
University, made applications both for the posts of <\/p>\n
Deputy   Registrar   and   Assistant   Registrar.     The <\/p>\n
Selection   Committee,   constituted   for   the   purpose, <\/p>\n
on   a   consideration   of   the   merit,   suitability, <\/p>\n
academic   qualification,   experience   and   performance <\/p>\n
of   the   candidates   in   the   interview   prepared   a <\/p>\n
select   list   on   May   26,   1996   in   which   respondent <\/p>\n
No.1 was placed at rank XIII.  Respondents 4 and 5 <\/p>\n
were   placed   in   the   select   list   at   ranks   IV   and   V <\/p>\n
respectively.     On   the   basis   of   the   select   list, <\/p>\n
prepared   by   the   Selection   Committee,   respondent <\/p>\n
Nos.   4   and   5   were   appointed   as   Assistant <\/p>\n
Registrars.  About two years later, respondent No.1 <\/p>\n
filed   a   Writ   Petition   (Writ   Petition   No.1094   of <\/p>\n
1998) seeking to challenge the appointments made in <\/p>\n
pursuance   of   the   advertisement   and   claiming   that <\/p>\n
                                4<\/span><\/p>\n
persons inferior to him in qualification and merit <\/p>\n
were appointed on the two posts.\n<\/p>\n
5.    The   Writ   Petition   was   opposed   by   the <\/p>\n
University.     The   University   took   the   stand   that <\/p>\n
under   the   University   statute   the   eligibility   for <\/p>\n
appointment   as   Assistant   Registrar   for   an   in-<\/p>\n
service   employee   was   that   he   should   either   be   a <\/p>\n
Section Officer or P.A.-cum-Stenographer and hold a <\/p>\n
Bachelor’s   degree   in   any   discipline.     It   was <\/p>\n
pointed   out   that   respondent   No.1   was   neither   a <\/p>\n
Section   Officer   nor   a   P.A.-cum-Steno.     He   was <\/p>\n
working only as Head Assistant which post was one <\/p>\n
step   lower   to   the   post   of   Section   Officer   in   the <\/p>\n
University.     It   was,   accordingly,   submitted   that <\/p>\n
respondent   No.1   was   ineligible   for   appointment   to <\/p>\n
the   post   of   Assistant   Registrar.     It   was   further <\/p>\n
pointed   out   that   respondent   No.1   had   only   54.03% <\/p>\n
marks   in   the   post-graduation   degree   and   for   that <\/p>\n
reason too he was not eligible.\n<\/p>\n
6.    On   a   consideration   of   all   the   material   facts <\/p>\n
and circumstances, a single Judge of the High Court <\/p>\n
                               5<\/span><\/p>\n
dismissed   the   Writ   Petition   by   judgment   and   order <\/p>\n
dated May 31, 2001.\n<\/p>\n
7.    Against   the   judgment   passed   by   the   single <\/p>\n
Judge, respondent no.1 filed an intra-court appeal <\/p>\n
(LPASW   No.202\/2001)   which   was   allowed   by   the <\/p>\n
judgment   and   order   dated   April   24,   2009   by   the <\/p>\n
Division Bench.   The Division Bench found and held <\/p>\n
that   respondent   No.1   was   not   eligible   to   be <\/p>\n
considered   for   the   post   of   Deputy   Registrar   and, <\/p>\n
hence,   rejected   his   case   in   so   far   that   post   is <\/p>\n
concerned.     Coming,   however,   to   the   post   of <\/p>\n
Assistant   Registrar,   the   Division   Bench   took   the <\/p>\n
view that Selection Committee had not assigned any <\/p>\n
reason   for   putting   respondent   nos.   4   and   5   above <\/p>\n
respondent   No.1   in   the   select   list.     It   seems   to <\/p>\n
have   called   for   the   documents   relating   to   the <\/p>\n
selection process and, making its own assessment on <\/p>\n
going   through   the   records,   made   the   impugned <\/p>\n
direction.     In   this   regard,   the   Division   Bench <\/p>\n
stated as follows:-\n<\/p>\n
\n                                 6<\/span><\/p>\n
           “In   the   background   of   what   we   have
\n      stated,   i.e.   the   appellant   was   entitled,
\n      in   terms   of   the   notice,   to   be   considered
\n      for   appointment   as   Assistant   Registrar
\n      since   he   was   holder   of   Bachelors   Degree
\n      and   an   in-service   employee   of   the
\n      University,   the   appellant   was   entitled   to
\n      compete   for   the   post   of   Assistant
\n      Registrar.     The   only   thing   that   was
\n      required   to   be   seen   was   whether   the
\n      selection   committee   assessed   the   merit   of
\n      the appellant higher than respondent Nos.4
\n      and   5.     We,   accordingly,   called   for   the
\n      records and the same were produced, which
\n      only   suggested   preparation   of   a   select
\n      list   where   the   position   of   the   appellant
\n      is   below   the   respondents   4   and   5.     No
\n      material   has   been   produced   before   us   to
\n      show   that   it   is   the   selection   committee
\n      which   upon   assessment   of   merit   of   the
\n      appellant   and   respondent   Nos.   4   and   5,
\n      found   appellant   was   less   meritorious   than
\n      the respondent Nos. 4 and 5.  We wanted to
\n      know whether, apart from the select list,
\n      is   there   any   other   record   which   would
\n      suggest   assessment   of   such   merit.     There
\n      answer   to   our   query   was   a   clear   no.     In
\n      the   circumstances,   the   logical   conclusion
\n      would be that there is nothing to suggest
\n      that   the   merit   of   the   appellant   was
\n      assessed   less   better   than   the   respondent
\n      Nos. 4 and 5.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
8.    It   appears   to   us   that   the   Division   Bench <\/p>\n
followed a procedure for which there is no sanction <\/p>\n
in   law.     In   the   first   place   the   Division   Bench <\/p>\n
overlooked   that   according   to   the   statutory <\/p>\n
eligibility   criterion   only   a   Section   Officer   or   a <\/p>\n
                              7<\/span><\/p>\n
P.A.-cum-Stenographer was eligible to be considered <\/p>\n
for   appointment   as   Assistant   Registrar   and <\/p>\n
respondent   No.1   was   a   Head   Assistant.     Moreover, <\/p>\n
the Division Bench was in error in sitting over the <\/p>\n
select list prepared by the Selection Committee as <\/p>\n
an Appellate Authority and re-arranging the select <\/p>\n
list   prepared   by   a   Committee   of   experts   on   the <\/p>\n
basis   of   its   own   valuation.     The   Division   Bench <\/p>\n
seems to have overlooked that while respondent Nos. <\/p>\n
4 and 5 were at ranks IV and V in the select list, <\/p>\n
respondent No.1 was at rank XIII and by brining him <\/p>\n
at par with respondent nos. 4 and 5, the Division <\/p>\n
Bench   clearly   ignored   the   claims   of   the   seven <\/p>\n
candidates who figured in between from rank VI to <\/p>\n
XII and who were above respondent No.1.  <\/p>\n
9.    On hearing counsel for the parties and on going <\/p>\n
through   the   materials   on   record,   we   are   satisfied <\/p>\n
that   the   impugned   order   passed   by   the   Division <\/p>\n
Bench is wholly unsustainable.  It is, accordingly, <\/p>\n
set aside.  The appeal is allowed but with no order <\/p>\n
as to costs.\n<\/p>\n
