therefore, vacancy as against general category was shown as ‘nil’.
Thus, there had been no vacancy for the general candidates for the appointment on the post of
Assistant Engineer (Mechanical) in the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation Department and
therefore, if none of the person of the general category has been shown as successful, the authority
cannot be said to have acted arbitrary or illegality.

Therefore, in the circumstances, it can never be said that different criteria other than criteria laid
down under advertisement issued in the year 2003 was adopted for filling up the posts. Coming to
other aspect of the matter, it be noted that it is admitted position that common written test for filling up
the posts advertised in the year 2003 and in the year 2005 was undertaken, thereupon successful
candidates, who had applied under both the advertisements were asked to opt either for Water
Resources Department or Drinking Water and Sanitation Department and accordingly, results were
published for Water Resources Department and Drinking Water and Sanitation Department and
therefore, I do not find any inherent defect in the result published wherein even the applicants of the
year 2005 were shown successful for the posts advertised in the year 2003.
In the result, I do not find any merit in this writ application. Hence, this writ application is dismissed.
