respondents produced a letter, received from the District Planning Officer and submitted that, in the said letter, it is clearly stated that one Mariammal has secured 38 marks in the interview conducted for the appointment of Anganwadi Assistance. Whereas, the petitioner herein has secured only 33 marks. Therefore, Mariammal, who secured the highest mark was appointed for the said post. Therefore, he submitted that the relief sought for in the present Writ Petition cannot be granted to the petitioner.

¶17

4.In view of the submission made by the learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondents, this Court is of the view that one Mariammal was already appointed as Anganwadi Assistance based on the marks secured by the candidate in the interview. Therefore, the petitioner's representation to appoint her as a Anganwadi Assistant cannot be considered, since she secured 5 marks less than Mariammal.

5.In the result, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs.
