Heard, learned counsel for the parties. 2. The petitioner by this writ petition has prayed for a Mandamus directing the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for appointment on the post of Graduate Trained Teacher pursuant to Advertisement No.21/2016. 3. It is the case of the petitioner that the petitioner has necessary qualification but in spite of furnishing the experience certificate, the case of the petitioner was not considered and an order was passed that the candidature of the petitioner cannot be considered, as she does not qualify for the said post. 4. After hearing the parties, I have gone through the impugned order. 5. So far as the impugned order is concerned, I find that it has been mentioned that since the petitioner does not possess the requisite qualification as mentioned in 4(घ), her candidature will not be considered against the 25% post which has been kept 2026:JHHC:2605 2 reserved. 6. The Clause 4(घ) provides that 25% posts were kept reserved for the teachers who worked in the Government School for a period of five years. The petitioner is relying upon Annexure-1 which is the experience certificate. The said school is admittedly not a Government School as accepted by the learned counsel for the petitioner also. 7. Since the petitioner was not working in a Government School and did not possess the requisite experience of teaching in Government School which was a mandatory condition to take the benefit of 25% reservation, I find that no illegality has been committed by the respondents in ignoring the case of the petitioner in the 25% quota. The respondents have correctly treated the petitioner against the rest 75% of total vacancy. Thus, no relief can be granted to the petitioner, which the petitioner is seeking to consider her against the 25% reserved quota. 8. If the petitioner qualifies against the rest of 75% vacancies, her case will be considered and an appropriate order will be passed within a period of 08 weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. 9. With the aforesaid observations, this writ petition stands disposed of. 10. Pending interlocutory application, if any, also stands disposed of.
