JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) HEARD Mr.Tanveer Ahmed, learned counsel for the appellant/writ
petitioner.
(2.) SHORTLY put, the relevant facts, are that in response to the
advertisement dated 13.2.2013 issued by the Rajasthan University of
Health Sciences, Jaipur (for short, hereafter referred to as 'the
respondent -University') initiating a process for filling up the post of
Clinical Psychologist. Thereafter by a corrigendum dated 25.6.2013, the
advertisement was amended. The appellant/writ petitioner offered her
candidature and did partake in the examination conducted in connection
therewith on 21.7.2013. Subsequent thereto, on 24.8.2013, before
declaration of the results, the Board of Management of the respondent -
University resolved to cancel the same (examination) on the ground that
the secrecy in the process pertaining thereto had not been maintained by
the convenor, and that, the amended advertisement had not been
approved by the State Government. A notification thereafter, was issued
on 4.9.2013 pursuant to the above -referred resolution of the Board of
Management cancelling the examination held for the post of Clinical
Psychologist. Being aggrieved, the appellant/writ petitioner sought to
invoke the writ jurisdiction of this Court for redress. Being unsuccessful
with the challenge, she has preferred this appeal.
Mr.Ahmed has urged that a bare perusal of the resolution dated
24.8.2013 of the Board of Management of the respondent -University does not disclose any reason for its conclusions leading to the cancellation of
the examination, and thus, the impugned action ought to be adjudged
illegal and null & void. According to the learned counsel, the
appellant/writ petitioner entertains an apprehension that the conditions
of eligibility for the post might be altered for the fresh process adversely
impacting upon her prospects, and thus, in absence of any tangible and
cogent reason for the cancellation of the examination, the impugned
decision ought to be interfered with.
(3.) UPON hearing the learned counsel for the appellant/writ petitioner
and on a consideration of the pleaded facts and the documents on
record, we do not feel inclined to sustain these pleas.;
