Distribution of posts

If a candidate for direct recruitment and a candidate claiming promotion to a particular job simultaneously had contested for the job then the candidate claiming promotion should be given priority

Three posts existed in the department for which 50% quota had been provided for departmental promotion and 50% had been reserved for initial recruitment

If all three posts are divided between the two components then right of person claiming promotion should be considered on priority and second post should go to the quota reserved for direct recruitment and third post again would go to the departmental promotion

Out of three posts two would fall in favour of quota reserved for promotion and one post would fall for quota reserved for initial recruitment

Post reserved for departmental promotion should be filled first before making direct recruitment

One post had been rightly requisitioned by the department and after due process a candidate had been appointed against the advertised post on recommendation of Public Service Commission

Petitioner had no bone of contention to fight upon

Writ petition was dismissed in circumstances.
