By the Court.—Rajesh Kumar Singh s/o Chandra Bhushan Singh is before this Court assailing the validity of the order dated 7th April, 2016 in Writ Petition No. 14359 of 2016, wherein learned Single Judge has proceeded to pass an order by mentioning “I do not find any reason for granting any interim relief in the matter”.

2. It is being submitted on behalf of petitioner-appellant that he had applied for consideration of his candidature for the post of Principal pursuant to the advertisement made by U.P. Secondary Education Service Selection Board vide Advertisement No. 1 of 2008 and petitioner-appellant claims that he has been selected in the panel of selected candidates declared, which was declared on 7th December, 2009 by the Secretary of the Board. Petitioner-Appellant submits that in spite of the fact that he has been a selected candidate, his joining in question has not at all been ensured and in order to resist the joining of appellant as Principal, Writ Petition No. 17090 of 2010 has been preferred and interim order was passed on 7th May, 2010 and against the same, Special Appeal No. 1023 of 2010 has been preferred and order dated 7th May, 2010 was quashed by order dated 7th June, 2010 and against the same, SLP bearing (Civil) No. 21783 of 2010 has been preferred before the Apex Court and the same was dismissed on 13th August, 2010. Petitioner-Appellant submits that in spite of these orders in his favour, he was not being permitted to perform his duties as Principal and accordingly, order of Single operation was passed. Petitioner-appellant has contended that all attempt was made to thwart of his joining. Petitioner-appellant has contended that with great difficulty he was permitted to function as Principal but his harassment and victimization continued. Petitioner-appellant submits that thereafter an attempt was made to raise as issue in respect of his educational qualification and specially in reference of the experience.

Petitioner-appellant submits that he has proceeded to raise pertinent issue in writ petition, wherein a prima facie strong case was made out by him to grant interim order in faovur of petitioner-appellant and in view of this, this Court should intervene in the matter as on account of non grant of interim order valuable right of petitioner-appellant are being infringed on totally unfounded grounds mentioned in the order impugned.

Selection Board whereas the Board itself was not at all validly constituted and the opinion that has been formed on the experience front is totally perverse and unreasonable and learned Single Judge ought to have looked into this aspect of the matter and as such, this Court should come to the rescue and reprieve of the petitioner-appellant as non granting of interim order would tantamount to taking away the livelihood of petitioner-appellant
