3. The Junheboto Government College (hereafter called as College) was established in the year 1985 and at that time, agreements were executed between the land owners for donation of the land. It is projected case of the petitioner that his father was one of the land donors. The lands were, however, purchased by the State Government in the year 2008. It has been contended on behalf of the petitioner that the mother of the respondent no. 5 was an employee of the College who had taken voluntary retirement on 11.01.2023 whereafter the respondent no. 5 was appointed. According to the petitioner, such appointment was not preceded by any recognized process of recruitment whereby the petitioner along with other eligible candidates was deprived from a fair opportunity.
