JUDGMENT

[Judgment of the Court was delivered by R.SURESH KUMAR, J.] The appellant is the writ petitioner, who filed the writ petition before the writ Court in W.P.(MD) No.11596/2013 seeking for a writ of mandamus to the 2nd respondent to consider the petitioner for recruitment to the post of Assistant Surgeon (Dental) (General-BDS) under Intercaste marriage quota within the time stipulated by this Court.

2.This writ petition was heard and disposed of by the learned Judge vide order dated 22.07.2013, under which, the learned Judge dismissed the writ petition on the only ground that since there has been no quota for intercaste marriage, the prayer as sought for by the writ petitioner cannot be considered and in this regard by citing some judgments, the learned Judge has passed the exhaustive order thereby rejecting the plea of the writ petitioner, that is how the appeal has come.

3. Heard the learned counsel for the appellant, the learned special Government pleader for the first respondents and the learned standing counsel for the second respondent.

4. Though some attempt has been made by the learned counsel for the appellant, he is not able to satisfy this Court as to on what basis such a mandamus was sought for when admittedly there was no such quota. Therefore, we have no hesitation to hold that the order impugned passed by the learned Judge has to be sustained, as the same does not warrant any interference. Accordingly, the writ appeal fails and the same is dismissed. No costs. consequently connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed. (R.S.K.,J.)
