[f] Candidate has experience only in diesel engine fitted Heavy Vehicles and not in petrol engines. [g] No experience in diesel engine fitted Heavy Vehicles. [h] No on-road/field experience and; [i] Workshop or the Firm which provided the certificate not functioning in the given address. All these requirements were not provided in the Notification and the only requirement that is to be satisfied is to submit an experience certificate from an authorised Automobile Workshop. Adding further qualifications/new conditions, to reject the candidature, will tantamount to changing the rules of the game after the process of selection had started. This goes against the settled principles of law. To substantiate this submission, the learned counsel relied upon the http://www.judis.nic.in judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in K.Manjusree .V. State of Andhra Pradesh and Another reported in [2008 3 SCC 512] and Tej Prakash Pathak and Others .V. Rajasthan High Court and Others reported in [2013 4 SCC 540].

4.It is submitted that , those who have obtained Workshop Experience Certificate prior to http://www.judis.nic.in 30.12.2016, but had not applied in response to the earlier notifications may be verified by the Motor Vehicles Maintenance Department.

32.The learned Advocate General submitted that as per the letter of the Director of Motor Vehicles Maintenance Department, dated 30.12.2016, the said department should verify the Workshop Experience Certificate issued to the candidates, before the same is given to the candidates by the concerned Automobile Workshop. The learned Advocate General submitted that since the certificates have already been issued by the concerned Automobile Workshops, the Motor Vehicles Maintenance Department will now verify the Workshop Experience Certificate that has been issued to the candidates and a report will be submitted to the TNPSC.

40.This Court has carefully considered the suggestions made by the respective Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners.

41.This Court finds the procedure suggested in the memo filed by the Transport Commissioner to be reasonable. Once this procedure is applied equally to all the candidates, there can be no grievance. It will also ensure that the Workshop Experience Certificate issued by the authorised Workshops is properly verified/scrutinized by the Motor Vehicles Maintenance Department. Incidentally, it is this department which certifies/authorises the Workshops and in the fitness of things, the same department will now scrutinize the Workshop Experience Certificate that was given to the candidates.
