M.M.Kumar, CJ 1. The instant appeal under Clause 12 of the Letters Patent is directed against judgment and order dated 04.09.2012 rendered by the learned Single Judge of this Court, holding that once appellants have participated in the selection process, they cannot thereafter question the advertisement notice dated 17.09.2009 issued by Z.E.O., Darhal (Rajouri) -respondent No.4. It is appropriate to mention that the appellants have offered themselves for engagement on the position of Rehar-e-Taleem. They have claimed that the selection ought to have been made on habitation basis treating it as a unit and not on the basis of revenue village. The aforesaid claim has been made on the basis of government order no.288-Edu of 2009 dated 08.04.2009. 2. Mr. M.I.Sherkhan, learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the explanation given in government order No.288 dated 08.04.2009 clearly carve out that habitation should be a unit of selection and not the revenue village. 3. Having heard learned counsel, we find that the submission is devoid of merit. It would be pertinent to read explanation which has been added below eligibility condition No.i laid down in government order No.396-Edu of 2000 dated 28.04.2000 (Rehbar-e-Taleem Scheme):- Village means a Revenue Village. However, where habitations in a Revenue Village are scattered, a candidate belonging to a habitation, popularly known as a village, at least, one kilometer away from other habitations and having a population of more than 300 persons, shall be entitled to seek engagement as Rehbar-e-Taleem in a local School. A perusal of the explanation shows that village continues to mean as revenue village. It also continues to be unit of recruitment. However, an exception has been carved out to the effect that where habitations in a revenue village are scattered, a candidate belonging to a habitation popularly known as a village should be one kilometer away from other habitations. The other necessary condition is that the habitation should have a population of more than 300 persons. It is conceded fact that a certificate with regard to separate habitation is ordinarily issued by Tehsildar. He also authenticate that the population of the habitation is more than 300 persons. Another certificate showing distance of one kilometer is issued by PWD Department. There was no material placed on the record of the Writ Court to substantiate eligibility condition which is carved out vide government order No.288-Edu of 2009 dated 08.04.2009.
He also authenticate that the population of the habitation is more than 300 persons. Another certificate showing distance of one kilometer is issued by PWD Department. There was no material placed on the record of the Writ Court to substantiate eligibility condition which is carved out vide government order No.288-Edu of 2009 dated 08.04.2009. Even in the instant appeal there is no whisper of any such document. Moreover, revenue village continues to be a unit of selection and recruitment. Government order No.288-Edu of 2009 dated 08.04.2009 has only created an exception in case of a habitations in revenue village are scattered. It must fulfill all other conditions like distance of one kilometer away from other habitations and population of more than 300 persons in that habitation. Therefore, we find no ground for admission of the appeal; hence the same is liable to be dismissed. 4. For the reasons aforementioned, this appeal fails and same is dismissed. ______
