JUDGEMENT
M.M.SUNDRESH, J. -
(1.)The decision of the Division Bench of the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad in allowing the writ petition filed by the private Respondents, setting aside the
order passed by the learned Single Judge is assailed before us. Candidates who
waited in the wings, observing the legal journey, filed applications for
impleadment seeking extended benefit of the impugned Judgment and Order.
(2.)The present appeals are filed by the State of Uttar Pradesh inter alia contending that the candidates who are not part of the list forwarded by the Uttar Pradesh
Subordinate Services Selection Commission (hereinafter referred to as 'the
Commission ') were also directed to be considered in the vacancies arising
pursuant to the selected candidates approved by the appointing authority, not
taking up the jobs offered to the post of Gram Panchayat Adhikari, Single Cadre,
Group (C). The learned Single Judge dismissed the Writ Petition filed by the
private Respondents, which was overturned by the Division Bench on the premise
that Rule 15 of the Uttar Pradesh Gram Panchayat Adhikari Service Rules, 1978
(hereinafter referred to as "1978 Rules"), if given due interpretation, would
facilitate consideration of persons waiting in the queue based upon their
performance. An application for review was filed by the appellant inter alia
stating that the relevant rule to be applied is the Uttar Pradesh Direct Recruitment
to Group 'C ' Posts (Mode and Procedure) Rules, 2015 (hereinafter referred to as
"2015 Rules"). The said application was dismissed without taking note of the
aforesaid contentions. The State seeks to assail both the aforesaid orders in the
present proceedings.
(3.)Heard Ms. Ruchira Goel, learned counsel for the Appellant and Mr. V.K. Shukla, learned senior counsel for the Respondent Nos. 1 to 3 and Mr. M.R. Shamshad
for the Respondent No. 4.
