Himachal Pradesh High Court<\/b>– Deciding the writ petition which is filed challenging the refusal of appointment of the petitioner for the post of lecturer in Automobile Engineering, Class-1 (Gazetted) on the ground of not having requisite qualification, a bench of Mansoor Ahmad Mir CJ, held that the respondents have deprived the petitioner of his legitimate right of being appointed as the lecturer even after obtaining permission and recommendation from the Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission. The Court allowed the petition and appreciated the fact that Petitioner made grade in the written examination as well as in the interview and had all the requisite qualification papers in order. The Court also referred to relevant judgments of apex Court, Chandrakala Trivedi v. State of Rajasthan<\/i> (2012) 3 SCC 129, wherein it was held that the word \u201cequivalent\u201d must be given a reasonable meaning and if a person is provisionally selected, it is not within the powers of the department to refuse appointment when he has been found suitable by the Commission and recommendation has been made for his appointment. <\/p>\n
