The relief sought for in this writ petition is for a direction, to direct the first respondent to dispose of the representation submitted by the writ petitioner on 15.12.2017.
2.The learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner states that the writ petitioner is a resident of Alakramam & Post, Tindivanam Taluk,Villupuram District, and she is a Destitute Widow. Further, the writ petitioner has completed 10th Standard and belongs to Hindu, Adi-Dravidar (S.C) Community. The income of the writ petitioner is Rs.12,000/- and was registered her name in the District Employment Office, Villupuram District . Pursuant to the employment Seniority list, the name of the writ petitioner was sponsored for appointment to the post of Record Clerk in the Collectorate. The writ petitioner participated in the interview along with all certificates and documents. However, the results were not published. In this regard, the writ petitioner made a representation on 15.12.2015 and no reply has been furnished till today.
3. Appointment can never be claimed as a matter of right, and even selection will not confer any right to the candidate. Mere participation in the interview will not provide any legal right for the writ petitioner to move this writ petition, in the absence of any irregularity or illegality in the process of selection. The learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner is unable to inform this Court, whether the results of selection are published or not and if any other candidate has been appointed or not. In the absence of any of these details, no writ can be entertained to consider the representation, when the representation is relating to the appointment of the writ petitioner. On a perusal of the copy of the representation it is seen that the writ petitioner has stated that she is Destitute Widow and therefore, she should be appointed in the post to which she attended the interview. The said representation is vague in nature and no direction can be issued under
Article 226 of the Constitution of India, on the basis of the representation, which does not possess the required details with regard to the selection. In this view of the matter, the direction to consider the representation cannot be issued in a routine manner and establishment of right to seek such a direction is mandatory and therefore, this Court is of the opinion that the writ petitioner has not established any semblance of right so as to issue a direction as sought for in this writ petition.
4. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed. However, there shall be no order as to costs.
