2. Mr. Vikrant Thakur, learned counsel representing the respondent No.2-Commission, while fairly acknowledging factum with regard to recommendation of the petitioner for the post of Assistant Professor (Anaesthesia) at Dr. RPGMC, Tanda, states that recommendation of the petitioner to the post concerned has been made, but the same is subject to outcome of the present writ petition for the reason that she, pursuant to order dated 01.12.2025 passed by this Court, was permitted to participate in the selection process provisionally. 3. At this stage, Mr. Rajan Kahol, learned Additional Advocate General, has attempted to argue that present petition has rendered infructuous and as such, same may be disposed of accordingly. 4.
In the case at hand, at first instance, candidature of the petitioner for the post of Assistant Professor (Anaesthesia) was not being accepted by the H.P. Public Service Commission for want of No Objection Certificate to be issued by AIIMS, Bilaspur, however, this Court, having taken note of Office Memorandum dated 24.11.2025 (Annexure P-3) issued under the signatures of Deputy Director (Admin), AIIMS, Bilaspur, coupled with the fact that petitioner was ready and willing to resign, after her selection, directed H.P. Public Service Commission to permit the petitioner to appear for interview for the post of Assistant Professor (Anaesthesia) provisionally, on the basis of NOC issued by AIIMS, Bilaspur. Since previous employer of the petitioner i.e. AIIMS, Bilaspur, has no objection, if any, to fresh appointment of the
2025:HHC:42878 3 petitioner pursuant to recommendations made by H.P. Public Service Commission, coupled with the fact that petitioner has been already relieved from her previous Institution at AIIMS, Bilaspur and in that regard, certificate already stands issued, this Court sees no impediment inasmuch as allowing the petition with the direction to respondents to ensure that appointment against the post of Assistant Professor (Anaesthesia) at Dr. RPGMC, Tanda, is given to the petitioner expeditiously, preferably, within a period of one week. Ordered accordingly. Pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed of. (Sandeep Sharma), Judge December 09, 2025 (Rajeev Raturi)
