The petitioners applied<br \/>\nfor the said posts and were selected on 28.4.2000 and 29.4.2000.<br \/>\nAccording to the petitioners a total number of 150 candidates were<br \/>\nselected for the posts of<br \/>\nDriver in Junagadh Division  and a selection list was prepared<br \/>\naccordingly. The selected candidates, including the petitioners,<br \/>\nunderwent a medical examination and training for the posts of Driver.<br \/>\nAccording to the petitioners, the candidates figuring from Serial<br \/>\nNos.1 to 115 in the select list were given appointments whereas the<br \/>\nother candidates were not appointed. The petitioners represented to<br \/>\nthe respondent &#8211; Corporation in this regard and received a<br \/>\nreply on 17.6.2006, wherein it is stated that the select list has<br \/>\nbeen cancelled, as a period of two years is over, therefore, the<br \/>\npetitioners cannot given appointments. The petitioners issued legal<br \/>\nnotice dated 16.3.2009, which elicited no further response from the<br \/>\nrespondent-Corporation. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioners have<br \/>\nfiled the present petition.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\tMr.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mukesh H. Rathod, learned advocate for the petitioners has submitted<br \/>\nthat since the petitioners had been selected by following due<br \/>\nprocedure, by Selection Committee, they ought to have been given<br \/>\nappointments. The action on the part of the respondent in not<br \/>\nappointing the petitioners, is illegal<br \/>\nand arbitrary and against the General Standing Order (&#8216;G.S.O.&#8217; for<br \/>\nshort) No.1128\/2004 dated 12.10.2004 of the Corporation, wherein it<br \/>\nis stated that the select-list would remain operative for a period of<br \/>\ntwo years. It is further submitted by the learned advocate for the<br \/>\npetitioners that the petitioners were called for medical check up and<br \/>\nthey have undergone training for 21 days, therefore, they have a<br \/>\nright to be appointed. Besides, there are vacancies available with<br \/>\nthe respondents, therefore, the  prayers made in the petition may be<br \/>\ngranted.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tI<br \/>\nhave heard the learned advocate for the petitioners and perused the<br \/>\naverments made in the petition, as well as the documents on record.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tIt<br \/>\nis not disputed that the petitioners were selected on 28.4.2000 and<br \/>\n29.4.2000 and their names were placed on the select-list. Out of a<br \/>\ntotal number of 150 candidates in the select-list, 115 candidates<br \/>\nwere appointed, whereas the other candidates, including the<br \/>\npetitioners, were not conferred  appointments. There is no material<br \/>\non record to suggest that how<br \/>\nmany vacant posts were available at the relevant period of time and<br \/>\nwhether the select list could have been operated fully. It is also<br \/>\nnot the case of the petitioners that the vacant posts, if any, were<br \/>\nfilled up by appointing candidates from outside the select-list. It<br \/>\ncannot, therefore, be assumed that merely by virtue of the names of<br \/>\nthe petitioners being placed on the select-list, they are conferred<br \/>\nwith any legal or vested right for appointment. It is a settled<br \/>\nposition of law, enunciated by the Supreme Court in a catena<br \/>\nof judgments, that merely by placement of the name of a candidate in<br \/>\nthe select-list, no right to appointment accrues to such candidate.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tThe<br \/>\naspect regarding training being given to the petitioners has no<br \/>\nrelevance, as that would not give them any superior or vested right<br \/>\nfor appointment. The G.S.O. No.1128\/2004 dated 12.10.2004, relied<br \/>\nupon by the petitioners merely states that the select-list would<br \/>\nremain operative for a period of two years. This G.S.O. does not<br \/>\nstate that it has retrospective effect. The petitioners were selected<br \/>\non 28.4.2000 and 29.4.2000 and there is no averment made in the<br \/>\npetition regarding the<br \/>\nprevalent Rules or G.S.O. that were in vogue at the relevant period<br \/>\nof time. Therefore, reliance on this G.S.O. would also not come to<br \/>\nthe aid of the petitioners. Another noteworthy aspect<br \/>\nis that, according to the petitioners, the selection has taken place<br \/>\non 28.4.2000 and 29.4.2000, whereas the petition has been filed on<br \/>\n19.1.2011, though the affidavit with the petition has been affirmed<br \/>\non 6.1.2011. There is a considerable delay between the selection of<br \/>\nthe petitioners and filing of the petition which remains unexplained.<br \/>\nFor a selection that took place in the year 2000, the petitioners<br \/>\ncannot claim any right of appointment in the year 2011, especially in<br \/>\nthe light of the settled legal position, that they have no vested<br \/>\nright or claim to appointment, merely because their names were placed<br \/>\nin the select-list.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tIt<br \/>\nhas been submitted that there are vacancies available against which<br \/>\nthe petitioners can be appointed. Availability of vacancies in the<br \/>\nyear 2011, if that is so, does not mean that they should be filled up<br \/>\nfrom the select-list prepared in the year 2000, especially as the<br \/>\nsame has already been operated<br \/>\nand has expired long back. If the respondents are desirous of filling<br \/>\nthe vacancies, if any, they would have to resort to a fresh procedure<br \/>\nof recruitment. The claim of the petitioners on this ground is<br \/>\nuntenable, and cannot be accepted.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\tIn<br \/>\nview of the above, no legal, fundamental, vested or indefeasible<br \/>\nright of the petitioners has been infringed, the petition deserves to<br \/>\nbe rejected, as being devoid of merit.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.\tThe<br \/>\npetition is, accordingly rejected.\n<\/p>\n<p>(Smt.\n<\/p>\n<p>Abhilasha Kumari, J.)<\/p>\n<p>~gaurav~<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Yusufkhan vs Managing on 11 July, 2011 Author: Abhilasha Kumari, Gujarat High Court Case Information System Print SCA\/1249\/2011 7\/ 7 ORDER IN THE HIGH COURT OF GUJARAT AT AHMEDABAD SPECIAL CIVIL APPLICATION No. 1249 of 2011 ========================================================= YUSUFKHAN SULTANKHAN PATHAN &amp;
