Judgment :- This Writ petition has been filed praying for a direction to call the petitioner for an interview, to be held on 12.02.2001 and to consider the petitioner for appointment to the post of Office Assistant in the respondent Panchayat Union. 2. The main contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that though the petitioner had been called for the interview scheduled to be held on 12.02.2001, the interview had been cancelled. It is also contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the cancellation of the interview is arbitrary and against law. No reasons had been assigned by the respondent for the cancellation of the interview and the cancellation of the interview, without giving opportunity to the petitioner, is contrary to the principles of natural justice. 2. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents had submitted that since there was no interim order passed by the Administrative Tribunal, in O.A.No.1116 of 2001, this writ petition is in fructuous. Even otherwise, the interview scheduled to have been held on 12.02.2001, had been cancelled and there is no obligation on the part of the respondent to inform the petitioner about the cancellation of the interview. There is no violation of the principles of natural justice, as claimed by the petitioner. 3. In view of the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, as well as the learned counsel for the respondents, this Court is of the view that no sufficient cause or reason has been shown by the petitioner, to grant the relief’s, as prayed for by the petitioner, in the present writ petition. Since the interview, scheduled to be held on 12.02.2001, had been cancelled, the petitioner cannot seek for appointment to the post of Office Assistant in the respondent Panchayat Union. Further, the petitioner is not in a position to show that the principles of natural justice have been violated. In such circumstances, the Writ Petition is liable to be dismissed as it is devoid of merits. Hence, it is dismissed. No costs.
