This writ appeal is filed by the appellants being aggrieved with the order dated 10.05.2024 passed by the learned Single Judge in a batch of writ petitions. The appellants grievance is in relation to WP(C) No.5535/2022.
The appellants raised a grievance before the Writ Court that in the recruitment process for filling up the post of Constables under the Assam Industrial Security Force, the respondents had not adopted a uniform pattern in allotting the marks for the previous service rendered either as Home Guards or Special Police Officers (SPOs). The learned Single Judge, while considering the said argument, noticed that in the certificates issued in favour of the appellants for their engagement as either Home Guards or Special Police Officers, the duration of engagement had not been specified. With the consent of the learned counsel for the appellants as well as the counsel for the State, the learned Single Judge has disposed of the writ petition with the direction to review the process of allotting marks against the experience earned by the SPOs or Home Guards, while allotting 2(two) marks uniformly to all the Home Guards or SPOs, in whose cases the duration of their engagement as Home Guards or SPOs had not been specified. From the above, it is clear that the learned Single Judge has disposed of the writ petition filed by the appellants as per the consent given by the counsel for the appellants before the Writ Court. Learned counsel for the appellants has submitted that, as a matter of fact,
Page No.# 4/4 the appellants did not give any such consent and their Advocate consented without informing them. Be that as it may, since the impugned order was passed on the basis of the consent given by the learned counsel for the respective parties, we are not inclined to interfere with the impugned order. However, the appellants are free to avail appropriate remedy available to them under the law. With these observations, this writ appeal is dismissed. JUDGE CHIEF
