This query is : Resolved
In 2003 PSC received 40 applications for a single vacant post.In 2010 PSC received 35 applications for the same vacant post and out of which 16 were summarily rejected for not having essential qualification. There was only mention of essential qualfn. in the advt. and no other qualfn. like desirable or any other qualfn. was mentioned.
The undersigned appeared in interview in 2003 when 40 applications were received but in 2010 discarded by the PSC to appear in interview on the ground of a clause in information booklet in advt. The clause says that PSC can restrict the no. of applicants for interview when large no. of applications are received by PSC and it is not convenient or possible for PSC to call all applicants for interview. This restriction will be imposed on the basis of qualifn. or experience. This clause was in existence in the year 2003.
The undersigned have been denied his right in the year 2010 when no. of applications were 35 but enjoyed his right with less experience in the year 2003.
Can PSC take such arbitrary decision defining large no. of applications different in different year.

Dear Mr. Arunagiri,
thanks a lot for such a prompt reply. Your advice is quite impressive but the problem is what remedial measure I can seek from the Court of law because the new selected candidate is already joined in the post and I can not say he is inferior to me.

It will make no effect in your right to challenge. If action is illegal, you will be given relief.
