Headnote | Constitution of India, 1950: Article 14-Settlement of fair price shops-Appointment of dealer-Basis for selection-Eligibility criteria-Preference given to less educated persons over persons with higher educational qualification-Whether violative of. In response to an advertisement calling for applications for appointment of dealer of a fair price shop, the appellant and the respondent No.1 applied along with many others. Appellant, a Commerce graduate had experience in running fair price shop, whereas respondent No.1 has passed 10th class only. On the basis of brief interview, respondent No.1 was selected. Appellant moved Respondent No.3, but was not successful. Later, he preferred a Revision Petition before the Collector, who allowed his claim. Respondent No.1 challenged the said order before the High Court, which was allowed by a Single Judge and later confirmed by a Division Bench. Aggrieved against the High Court's order, the appellant has preferred the present appeal. On behalf of the appellant, it was contended that there was no guideline indicating the nature of the interview which was the sole basis for making a choice for the settlement of the fair price shops. The respondents contended that less educated persons were given preference as they were handicapped by reason of lack of education as compared to better qualified applicants. It was further contended that since a highly educated person may get a better job, he may not be able to run the shop on a permanent basis. |
