Dr. Satya Pandey vs Director Of Education (Higher) And ... on 20 May, 2011
We must also remind ourselves of what was observed by the Full Bench of this Court in Dr. Vinay Kumar (supra) and by the Division Bench in Rama Shanker Rai (supra) that the Director does not have a discretion to intimate the name of a candidate to the management dehorse the provisions of Section 13 of the Act and that he has necessarily to see the merit position of the candidate and the preference given by the candidate for the Colleges. The Director did initially issue the placement orders but they were cancelled. The subsequent placement order of the Director dated 12th January, 2004 ignores the essential and relevant criterion for placement and the petitioner has been recommended for a College for which even advertisement had not been issued.
