3. Petitioner participated in a selection held for the post of Assistant Engineer/Junior Engineer by Uttarakhand Public Service Commission in the year 2012. Since petitioner was not selected in the selection, therefore, he filed this writ petition in 2014 seeking following relief(s):-
“(i) Issue a writ or direction in the nature of certiorari quashing the selection result dated 22nd January 2014 published by Public Service Commission so far as it relates to the selection of Ms. Nisha Gautam (respondent no.3) for the post of Assistant Engineer (Electrical /Mechanical) in Jal Sansthan, against the post reserved for Scheduled Caste candidate (woman category), inasmuch as the same is contrary to the Govt. Order and amounts to 100% reservation. (ii) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the Uttarakhand Public Service Commission include the name of the petitioner for the post of Assistant Engineer (Electrical/Mechanical) in Jal Sansthan against the post reserved for Scheduled Caste candidate.”
