ILANTHIRAIYAN WP No. 14748 of 2025 and WMP No.16649 of 2025 M.Sevanthi Petitioner(s) Vs 1. The District Collector/Chairman District Health Society, Krishnagiri District. 2.The Secretary/Deputy Director, District Health Society, Krishnagiri District. 3.The District Health Officer, Krishnagiri District. 4.Dr.Rajkumar BHMS Government Primary Health Center, Karapattu Village, Uthangarai, Krishnagiri District. Respondent(s) Prayer : Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of Constitution of India praying for the issuance of a Writ of Mandamus to call for the records of the https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 2/5 WP No. 14748 of 2025 respondents in connection with the impugned ordered issued by the 1st respondent in R.No.4035/A1/2023-4 dated 08.10.2024 and quash the same and further direct the 1st respondent to appoint the petitioner as medical officer in Bachelor of Homeopathy Medical Science. For Petitioner(s): Mr. Dinesh Kumar For Respondent(s): Mr.M.Bindran AGP ORDER This writ petition has been filed challenging the order of appointment dated 08.10.2024, thereby appointing the fourth respondent as Homeopathy Medical Officer. 2.The case of the petitioner is that a notification for recruitment to various posts was issued by the first respondent. The petitioner applied for the post of Medical Officer, however, she was not selected. Now the petitioner challenges the appointment of the fourth respondent on the ground that the entire selection process was wrong and further, the notification did not speak about the marks to be allotted under various heads. 3.After having participated in the selection process and having been https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 3/5 WP No. 14748 of 2025 unsuccessful in the selection process, the petitioner cannot now question the very notification. Except challenging the procedure as mentioned in the notification, the petitioner does not have any other ground to challenge the selection of the fourth respondent as Medical Officer. That apart, the fourth respondent has secured higher marks than the petitioner and has been rightly selected for the post. Therefore, this Court finds no infirmity or illegality in the selection of the fourth respondent and the writ petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be set aside. 4.Accordingly, this writ petition stands dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is also closed. 24-11-2025 Index:Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Internet:Yes Neutral Citation:Yes/No sli To https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 4/5 WP No. 14748 of 2025 1.
