Neither the date of petitioner's passing or competing the examination is given nor the appointment letter. Even the petitioner's order of posting has not been placed on record to substantiate that the petitioner was ever appointed as an Accredited Statistical Volunteer.

3. No case is made out for the reasons indicated above. Writ application is dismissed.
