ANIL KUMAR SINHA
Rahul Singh – Appellant
Versus
State of Bihar – Respondent
Anil Kumar Sinha, J.—Since common question of fact and law has been raised in all these six writ applications, as such, all writ applications are heard together and are being disposed by a common order.
2. These writ applications have been filed by the petitioners for setting aside the notice, dated 04.07.2024 (Annexure P 9 to CWJC No. 10669 of 2024), by which the respondent-Bihar State University Service Commission has shortlisted the candidates for calling them for the purpose of interview on the basis of marks obtained by them under educational qualifications as per the parameters given in the Advertisement No. AP-MATH-23/20-21, dated 21.09.2020, for appointment as Assistant Professors in different Universities of Bihar in different subjects.
3. The petitioners have further prayed for a direction to the Bihar State University Service Commission (in short, ‘the Commission’) to allow them to appear in the interview, to be started from 22.07.2024 to 26.07.2024, and thereafter to publish the final merit list in their respective subjects on the basis of their performance in the educational qualification and interview.
4. Learned Counsel for the petitioners, referring to Clause 7 of the
Park Leather Industry (P) Ltd. vs. State of U.P.
Dr. Sachidanand Sinha vs. Collector, Patna
Balbir Kaur vs. Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Services Selection Board, Allahabad
Commissioner of Trade Tax, Uttar Pradesh vs. Associated Distributors Ltd.
The selecting body has the authority to determine the method/criterion of selection, and the rules of the game cannot be changed once the game has started.
Proficiency in Hindi or English cannot be adjudged through multiple choice questions, and no legal right accrued to demand a bilingual question paper.
The Commission cannot prescribe additional requirements for selection beyond the Rules.
The court upholds the stipulated qualifying marks and the authority of the respondent to reduce the number of posts, and deems the change of font in the printing of the question paper irrelevant.
