W.P.(C) NO.4704 of 2021
02 08.02.2021 The matter is taken up through video conferencing
mode.
Heard Mr. A. Kanungo, learned counsel for the
petitioner and Mr. A.K. Sharma, learned Additional
Government Advocate for the State.
The petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking
direction to opposite party no.2 to issue notification
/addendum against the accumulated vacancy against the
advertisement dated 06.10.2018 or in alternative any
supplement notification against the advertisement dated
06.10.2018 of the OPSC for recruitment to the post of Asst.
Professor (super specialty) in Orissa Medical Educational
Service. She further seeks direction to opposite party no.2 to
allow the petitioner to appear/sit in the examination to be
held on 14.02.2021 as notified.
Mr. A. Kanungo, learned counsel for the petitioner
contended that due to irregular recruitment made pursuant
to advertisement issued on 06.10.2018, a large number of
vacancies are available to fill up the regular posts. Therefore,
direction be issued to opposite party no.2 to issue fresh
advertisement so that the petitioner can get opportunity to
participate in the process of selection.
Mr. A.K. Sharma, learned Additional Government
Advocate for the State raised preliminary objection with
regard to the fact that the petitioner cannot have any
grievance before this Court seeking direction for issuance of
fresh advertisement to fill up the vacancies. As such, the writ
petition is misconceived one.
Considering the contentions raised by learned counsel
for the parties and after going through the records, since the
petitioner claims for issuance of fresh advertisement for
filling up of accumulated vacancy, this Court is not inclined to
issue any direction. In any case, it is the authority concerned
to decide the same for filling up of accumulated vacancy in
accordance with law.
With the aforesaid observation and direction, the writ
petition is disposed of.
