Judgment
The petitioner is OBC (Female) and was very keen to
participate in the process which has been initiated by the
respondents holding selection for the post of Teacher Gr.III vide
advertisement dt.06.07.2016.
It is relevant to note that immediately after the
advertisement came to be uploaded, applications were invited on-
line by the applicants who intend to participate in the selection
process from 11.07.2016 and as per the condition Nos. 2 & 9 of
the advertisement only on-line application forms will be accepted
with a further indication referred to that the last date for
submission of application form on-line was 01.08.2016. It will be
relevant to quote the relevant conditions, which read ad infra:-
VERNACULAR MATTER OMITTED
Indisputably, the petitioner failed to fill her application form
on-line within the stipulated period indicated by the respondents
in terms of the advertisement.
The grievance of the petitioner is that she is OBC (Female)
and was under the state of confusion how the on-line application
is to be filled in terms of the advertisement and at a later stage, it
came to her knowledge that off-line application are being
permitted to be filled by the respondents pursuant to the
advertisement and that compelled her to approach this court by
filing the instant writ petition.
The submission of the petitioner is wholly bereft of merit for
the reason that in terms of the relevant conditions of the
advertisement, of which reference has been made supra, it was
mandated to every candidate, who intends to participate, to fill his
application on-line from 11.07.2016 and the last date for
submission of on-line application was 01.08.2016 and a fair
opportunity was available to the applicant/petitioner to fill her
application on-line in terms of the advertisement and any
confusion as alleged is of no consequence and if the petitioner has
failed to fill her application on-line on or before the last date of
submission, no further indulgence can be extended to the
petitioner to fill her application off-line, as prayed for.
Consequently, the instant writ petition being devoid of merit,
accordingly stands dismissed.
