ORDER
The relief sought for in the present Writ Petition is for a direction to direct the third respondent to consider the petitioner as eligible candidate, for the post of Road Inspector Grade-II. 2.The very relief sought for in the present Writ Petition cannot be considered at this length of time. The process of selection undertook by the respondents during the year 2015, had already been concluded and the selected persons were appointed. The Court cannot declare whether the candidate is eligible for appointment or not. Such decisions are to be taken by the competent authority, only after verifying the qualifications as well as criteria fixed in the rules in force. Thus, the prayer sought for is innocuous and cannot be considered for the purpose of issuing a direction to consider the writ petitioner as eligible candidate for appointment to the post of Road Inspector Grade-II. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
