3. According to the Petitioner, the Petitioner belongs to SC Community, namely, 'Hindu-Parayan' and he possessed 9th Standard educational qualification. The 4th Respondent had called for names of eligible persons from the District Employment Officer, Perambalur, who is the 5th Respondent herein, for appointment to the post of Village Assistant and the 5th Respondent had also sent a list of five names, including the name of the Petitioner and the 6th Respondent. In the interview conducted on 16.12.2010 by the 4th Respondent, the Petitioner appeared. However, by the impugned order, the 4th Respondent had appointed the 6th Respondent in the said post. Hence, contending that since the 6th Respondent is junior than the Petitioner and he possessed only 8th Standard educational qualification, but whereas, the Petitioner had completed 9th Standard, the 6th Respondent is not eligible to be appointed in the said post and consequently, the impugned order of appointment, appointing him as the Village Assistant is illegal, this Writ Petition has been filed.
