7. Mr.S.T.Varadharajulu, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner in W.P.No.12330 of 2012 would submit that the petitioner is an in-service candidate and he belongs to Backward Class community and he secured 67.56 marks which is more than the marks secured by Backward Class candidate at Ramnad District and on earlier occasion, he filed W.P.No.1450 of 2006 praying for issuance of a Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents herein to consider the petitioner's representation dated 26.02.1999 and the said writ petition was disposed of on 11.03.2010 with a direction to the respondents to dispose of his representation and in pursuant to the orders passed by this Court, physical test was also conducted and thereafter, TNUSRB, vide communication dated 23.12.2013, has informed that the petitioner has secured 67.56 marks and he was not selected for the reason that the cut off mark for Tirunelveli Range Backward Class community is 71.68 marks. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has invited the attention of this Court to the above said communication and would submit that in respect of Ramnad District range, a candidate belonging to Backward Class community, who obtained less than 63.56 marks got selected and by virtue of the orders passed by the Tribunal, Division Bench of this Court as well as by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, he is entitled to be appointed as Sub-Inspector of Police and prays for appropriate orders.

32. The Administrative Tribunal, this Court as well as the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India had found that zone-wise selection for recruitment to the post of Sub-Inspectors of Police by way of direct recruitment is bad and illegal. It is also relevant to note the following particulars regarding cut off marks secured by candidates in different regions:

Community Region Cut off marks BC Ramnad 65.25 BC (Women) Ramnad 40.37 MBC Ramnad 62.37 MBC (Women) Tirunelveli 42.37 SC Ramnad 57.43 Open Category (Women) Ramnad 52.12 Admittedly, the petitioners in Category Nos.I and II, in their respective communal category, had secured more marks than that of the above said cut off marks, but for the zone-wise selection conducted by the second respondent/TNUSRB, they would have got selected and as a consequence, non-meritorious candidates who got selected due too zone-wise selection would not have been selected at all. However, due to passage of time, their selection have not been interfered with and instead the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has taken into consideration the submission made by the learned counsel appearing for the appellants that they may be placed last in the seniority list of Sub Inspectors of Police of the year in which the above said order came to be passed, have to be accommodated.
