Out of these 106 posts were meant for general category.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioner, who belongs to general category, applied for<\/p>\n<p>appointment to the post of Principal. Finding her eligible she was<\/p>\n<p>called for interview.        The result was declared on 30.1.2008. Last<\/p>\n<p>candidate selected had scored 46.19 marks.                  The petitioner then<\/p>\n<p>applied to know the marks obtained by her. She was apprised that<\/p>\n<p>she had secured 44.53 marks. Counsel representing the petitioner,<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No. 8665 of 2008                           2<\/span><br \/>\nby referring to the criteria, submits that the marks of the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>has not been properly calculated.\n<\/p>\n<p>              In the reply filed,      the respondents have disputed this<\/p>\n<p>assertion made by the petitioner and would say that the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>was rightly awarded 44.53 marks. Both the petitioner as well as the<\/p>\n<p>respondents have carried out the calculation of the marks, which<\/p>\n<p>ought to be awarded to the petitioner on the basis of criteria adopted.<\/p>\n<p>              There is no dispute between the parties about the criteria<\/p>\n<p>for assessment which is to be adopted. Considering the contents of<\/p>\n<p>the reply filed by the respondents , Court called for the record from<\/p>\n<p>the Commission.          The original application filed by the petitioner has<\/p>\n<p>been perused, which reveals that the petitioner has disclosed her<\/p>\n<p>educational qualification as M.A. as well as M.Sc. She is also B.Ed.<\/p>\n<p>and had disclosed her experience to be 11 years.                   As per the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner, she was entitled to 17.025 marks by taking into<\/p>\n<p>consideration the marks obtained by her in M.Sc whereas the<\/p>\n<p>respondents have calculated the marks of the petitioner on the basis<\/p>\n<p>of her score in M.A.\n<\/p>\n<p>              By referring to the essential qualification prescribed in the<\/p>\n<p>advertisement, counsel would submit that M.A and M.Sc both were<\/p>\n<p>eligible for appointment to the post of Principal and to be fair to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner her assessment in that post graduate degree should be<\/p>\n<p>taken into consideration which is more              beneficial to her.    To<\/p>\n<p>substantiate this submission, counsel would say that the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>could have made a reference to her M.Sc. degree alone and still she<\/p>\n<p>would have been eligible for consideration and appointment by only<\/p>\n<p>making assessment of the marks obtained in M.Sc The petitioner<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No. 8665 of 2008                            3<\/span><br \/>\nwas given zero marks in experience whereas she has clearly<\/p>\n<p>mentioned that she had 11 years as experience. Even if the degree<\/p>\n<p>of M.Sc       is taken into consideration to consider the claim of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner,     she would have more marks than the last candidates<\/p>\n<p>selected who have secured 46.19 marks.\n<\/p>\n<p>              There is no dispute that the petitioner is having degrees<\/p>\n<p>of M.A. as well M.Sc.                  The petitioner would be eligible for<\/p>\n<p>consideration for the post on the basis of M.A. as well M.Sc. degree.<\/p>\n<p>There is no justification for the respondents to consider the M.A.<\/p>\n<p>degree of the petitioner to check her merit and ignore the M.Sc.<\/p>\n<p>degree where her performance is better. Selection is on the basis of<\/p>\n<p>merit and there should not be any reason to ignore the merit of a<\/p>\n<p>candidate by ignoring marks of a degree to which mention is made in<\/p>\n<p>the application.\n<\/p>\n<p>              The submission made by counsel has a substance when<\/p>\n<p>he says that the petitioner even could have made mention to her<\/p>\n<p>M.Sc degree alone and still would have been eligible for<\/p>\n<p>consideration. This would clearly explain the infirmity in the stand of<\/p>\n<p>the respondents in calculating the merit of the petitioner on the basis<\/p>\n<p>of M.A degree.          The case of the petitioner thus was not fairly<\/p>\n<p>considered and would call for fresh consideration by calculating the<\/p>\n<p>merit on the basis of M.Sc degree. Respondents, accordingly, are<\/p>\n<p>directed to consider the          case of the petitioner afresh and calculate<\/p>\n<p>her marks properly. Her marks for educational qualification be<\/p>\n<p>calculated on the basis of her performance in M.Sc. Respondents<\/p>\n<p>would also see, if the petitioner is required to be awarded marks for<\/p>\n<p>her experience.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No. 8665 of 2008                              4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Civil Writ Petition No. 338 of 2009:\n<\/p>\n<p>              The petitioner in Civil Writ Petition No. 338 of 2009 had to<\/p>\n<p>his credit M.Sc degree in Mathematics and M.A in History. If M.Sc<\/p>\n<p>degree in Mathematics is taken into consideration, he would be<\/p>\n<p>entitled to get 17.19 marks whereas degree of M.A History has been<\/p>\n<p>taken into consideration to award him less marks. For the same<\/p>\n<p>reasons as aforementioned, the case of the petitioner in CWP NO.<\/p>\n<p>338 is also required to be reconsidered by taking into consideration<\/p>\n<p>his marks obtained in M.Sc. (Maths).\n<\/p>\n<p>              The writ petitions are, accordingly, disposed of with<\/p>\n<p>direction to the respondents to reconsider and recalculate the merit<\/p>\n<p>of   the    petitioners      in   these   petitions   as   per   the   direction<\/p>\n<p>aforementioned. The respondents shall then consider the claim of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners for appointment from the date the candidate lower in<\/p>\n<p>merits than the petitioners were selected and appointed. In case, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners come within the zone of selection, they would be offered<\/p>\n<p>appointments.\n<\/p>\n<p>              Let original record be returned by the Registry to the<\/p>\n<p>State counsel on an proper application made.\n<\/p>\n<pre>July 17, 2009                                         ( RANJIT SINGH )\nrts                                                        JUDGE\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Manisha Nee Deepa vs State Of Haryana And Others on 17 July, 2009 Civil Writ Petition No. 8665 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 8665 of 2008 Date of decision: 17.7.2009 Manisha Nee Deepa &#8230;petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-89230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-high-court","category-punjab-haryana-high-court"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Manisha Nee Deepa vs State Of Haryana And Others on 17 July, 2009 - Free Judgements of Supreme Court &amp;
