(iv) Award costs of this petition to the petitioner" 3. Learned Standing counsel, on the basis of the written instructions, which is taken on record, has submitted that the petitioner is a scheduled caste candidate. The seat in question is to be filled up amongst the EWS candidate of the general category. He further submitted that due to the reservation of the Anganwadi Center Rajpur Pratap being EWS, Ms. Mohini Rajvanshi, the petitioner, who belongs to the Scheduled Caste category, could not be selected for the post in question. 4. Admittedly, the petitioner could not show any document to establish her case that she comes under the EWS category. 5. Considering the above and perusal of the instructions it appears that the petitioner is neither EWS nor of the general category candidate and, therefore, she has not been selected. There appears to be no illegality in the selection. Also the petitioner has not impleaded the selected candidate as a party. 6. In view of the above, the writ petition lacks merit and is accordingly dismissed.
