MA 272/2012 is filed by the applicant in OA 408/2012 for amending the original prayer in the OA as under:-

“To direct the respondents to publish the result for the Store Keeper (SK) Post which was called by the respondents in the advertisement No.002/ESTT/AVD dated 25-31 December 2010 in ‘Employment News’ within specified time.”

2. It is contended by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant has appeared for the written test and interview which was conducted pursuant to the advertisement No.002/ESTT/AVD dated 25-31 December 2010 in ‘Employment News’ for the post of Store Keeper. The total number of vacancies are 4 (UR). The applicant approached the respondents under the RTI Act, vide RTI application dated 29.2.2012 to get information regarding the results of the selection. When he could not get the information under the RTI Act, he has filed a personal representation dated 12.3.2012 and the present OA.

3. In the above facts and circumstances, we are of the view that the applicant cannot proceed parallely when he could not get the information under the RTI Act. There is an avenue under the RTI Act to get information. The applicant has submitted his representation dated 12.3.2012 and filed the present OA for the relief of a direction to the respondents which cannot be granted. The applicant has not established his case for issue of a direction to the respondents. It is for the applicant to wait for the results to be announced. We are not inclined to issue notice to the respondents. Accordingly, the MA and OA are rejected.
