Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner is Science Graduate (B.Sc.), Post Graduate in Sociology (M.A.) and also possesses two years training as Sanitary Inspector being qualified for the said post.

A committee of four Doctors alongwith the Chief Executive Officer examined and interviewed the candidates having specified qualification. The committee awarded numbers to interviewing the candidates. The respondent No.5 having all the specified qualifications was awarded better marks than the petitioner and was selected.

So far as the qualification is concerned, the respondent No.5 has completed B. Pharma degree and is also possessing the technical qualifications. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that so far as technical qualification is concerned, the petitioner has submitted the certificate of Sanitary Inspector Diploma and it was not necessary for any candidate to have all the technical qualifications as mentioned in the advertisement. Since the petitioner is having the diploma in Sanitary Inspector, therefore, the petitioner was eligible for the post. Learned counsel for the petitioner placed reliance on the decision reported in AIR 1981 (J&K) 27 [Mohd. Maqbool v. Chairman, District Recruitment Board] wherein it was held that where a candidate who fulfilled the educational qualification requirement prescribed in the advertisement notice for post of a teacher in the Educational Department was not selected for the post whereas a candidate who did not fulfil the said requirement was selected for the post, the selection of the candidate was vitiated on ground of being discriminatory when there was no provision for relaxation of qualification in advertisement notice. Learned Panel Lawyer for respondents No.1 to 4 placed reliance on the decision reported in (1996) 6 SCC 282 , [Secretary (Health), Department of Health and Family Welfare v. Dr. Anita Puri] wherein it was held that in absence of a statutory rule or guidelines issued by the Government for the purpose of valuation of merit of the candidates when the Public Service Commission is required to select some candidates out of a number of applicants for cel1ain posts, the sole authority and discretion is vested with the Commission. The Commission is required to evolve the relative fitness and merit of the candidate and then select candidates in accordance with such evaluation. If for that purpose the Commission prescribes marks for different facets and then evaluates the merit, the process of evaluation cannot be considered to be arbitrary unless marks allotted for a particular facet is on the face of it excessive. Weight age to be given to different facets of a candidate as well as to the viva voce varying from service to service depending upon the requirement of the service itself. Weight age to be given to different facets of a candidate as well as to the viva voce varying from service to service depending upon the requirement of the service itself. It is too well settled that when a selection is made by an expert body like the Public Service Commission which is also advised by experts having technical experience and high academic qualification in the field for which the selection is to be made, the Courts should be slow to interfere with the opinion expressed by experts unless allegations of mala fide are made and established. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case, since the vacancy was for the post of Senior Treatment Supervisor and one of the important technical qualification was TB Health Visitor by recognized institute with two years' experience which was being possessed by the respondent No. 5 and the selection has been done by a committee of 5 members, of doctors. In view of the fact, no illegality has been committed in selecting the respondent No.5 for the post of Senior Treatment Supervisor. With the aforesaid observations, this petition stands dismissed. No order as to costs.
