with
WPSS/458/2026
Hon’ble Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J.
Mr. Vinod Tiwari, Advocate for the
petitioners.

2.
Mr. Pradeep Hairiya, Standing
Counsel for the State of Uttarakhand.
3.
Since common questions of law
and
fact
are
involved
in
these
petitions, therefore, they are being
heard and decided together. However,
for
the
sake
of
brevity
and
convenience, facts of WPSS No. 450 of
2026 alone are being considered and
discussed.
4.
Mr. Vinod Tiwari, learned counsel
for
the
petitioner
submits
that
petitioner has not been recommended
for
appointment
to
the
post
of
Assistant
Teacher,
Government
Primary
School,
even
though
he
scored more marks than many of the
candidates,
who
have
been
recommended and appointed. The
relief sought in the writ petition is as
follows:-
“I. issue a writ or order or direction in the
nature of a writ, order or direction in the nature of
mandamus
commanding
and
directing
the
respondent authorities to appoint the petitioner on
the post of Assistant Teacher (Elementary-science
stream) in District Pauri under General Category
mentioned at Sl. No. 188 in the eligibility list issued
on 12.01.2026 (Annexure No. 2).”

5. Having regard to the pleadings
made and relief sought, this Court
thinks that ends of justice would be
met if petitioners are permitted to make representation to the competent authority, highlighting their grievance.
6. Accordingly, the writ petitions are disposed of with liberty to petitioners to make representation(s) to the competent authority. If petitioners make representation(s) within ten days from today, decision thereupon shall be taken, as per law, within four weeks thereafter.
