Mahmud, Advocate Page No.# 3/4 For the respondents : Ms. S. Sarma, SC, GHC Mr. D. Nath, Sr. Govt. Advocate BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DEVASHIS BARUAH Date of Hearing : 17.07.2025 Date of Judgment : 17.07.2025 JUDGMENT AND ORDER (ORAL) Heard Mr. M. U. Mahmud, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner. Mr. D. Nath, the learned counsel appears on behalf of the respondent No.1 and Ms. S. Sarma, the learned counsel appears on behalf of the respondent Nos.2 to 6. 2. The petitioner herein has challenged the selection and appointment of the respondent No.7 vide the order dated 29.11.2021 as Chowkidar under the establishment of the learned District & Sessions Judge, Kokrajhar and further sought for a direction that the petitioner be appointed as the Chowkidar in the said establishment. 3. It is relevant to take note of that the advertisement so issued categorically mentioned that the maximum qualification for the post of the Chowkidar is HSLC passed and fluent in one or more local languages/dialects of Assam. The petitioner Page No.# 4/4 admittedly was HSSLC passed which though not categorically stated in the petition, but is apparent from the Annexure-6 to the writ petition. Therefore, the petitioner was not eligible even to participate in the said selection process. Under such circumstances, at the instance of a candidate who was not eligible to participate in the said selection process, the question of issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari to quash the selection and appointment of the respondent No.7 does not arise. 4. Consequently, this Court finds no merit in the writ petition for which the instant writ petition stands dismissed. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
