JUDGMENT

*********** [Judgment of the Court was delivered by G.R.SWAMINATHAN, J.] The unsuccessful writ petitioner has filed this intra Court appeal questioning the order dated 21.04.2011 in W.P.(MD)No.11317 of 2008.

2. The case of the writ petitioner is that the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board called for applications for filling up the vacancies in the post of Assistant Engineer (Electrical) and that even though he was fully qualified, he was not selected.

3. The writ petitioner belongs to Scheduled Caste category. For the said category, the cut off mark was 67.21. Unfortunately, the writ petitioner secured only 52.07. Since the writ petitioner's mark fell below the cut off mark, he could not be selected. This is the only reason for non-selection of the petitioner and nothing else. The appellant cannot make any grievance out of it. There are no merits in the Writ Appeal. Hence, the Writ Appeal is dismissed.
