available, candidates with +2 Science qualifications will be eligible for appointment. Accordingly applications were made. Pursuant to due process of selection a select list was prepared, which has been filed by the petitioner by way of rejoinder in Annexure-7 dated 12.10.2017, wherein it appears that on the basis of marks secured in the process of selections the candidates have been selected. The contention raised by Mr. Panda that the candidate having +2 Vocational (Fisheries) have not been taken into consideration, pursuant to the qualification prescribed in Clause-3(2) of the advertisement is denied by the documents available on record. As it appears that Sl. No. 31, 54 and from 90 to 93 having +2 Vocational (Fisheries) qualifications have been selected by following due process of selection. As the petitioner participated in the selection process and could not be successful cannot challenge the same at this stage.
and the same is accordingly dismissed.
