'24. A noting recorded in the file is merely a noting
simpliciter and nothing more. It merely represents
expression of opinion by he particular individual. By no
stretch of imagination, can such noting be treated as a
decision of the government. Even if the competent
authority records its opinion in the file on the merits of the
matter under consideration, the same cannot be termed as
a decision of the Government, unless it is sanctified and
acted upon by issuing an order in accordance with Articles
77(1) and (2) or Articles 166(1) and (2). The noting in the
file or even a decision gets culminated into an order
affecting right of the parties only when it is expressed in
the name of the President or the Governor, as the case may
be, and authenticated in the manner provided in Article
77(2) or Article 166(2). A noting or even a decision
recorded in the file can always be
reviewed/reversed/overruled and the court cannot take
cognizance of the earlier noting or decision for exercise of
the power of judicial review. (See State of Punjab V. Sodhi

Arup Das & Ors vs State Of Assam & Ors on 27 January, 2012
'17. It is well established that an authority cannot make
any selection/appointment beyond the number of posts
advertised, even if there were large number of posts
available than those advertised. The principle behind the
said decision is that if that as allowed to be done, such
action would be entirely arbitrary and violative of Article
15 and 16 of the Constitution of India since other
candidates who had chosen not to apply for the vacant
posts which were being sought to be filled could have also
applied if they had known that other vacancies would also
be under consideration for being filled up.'
It is not the function of the Tribunals to direct the respondents to create
posts so as to enable the applicants to get appointment. First of all no order
has been issued by the department concerned for creating posts. Without
creating posts no claim can be made by the applicants.
