But the same was declined on the ground that she has not undergone the 18 months training course in the institutions that are recognised in the adhoc rules. In these circumstances, I am of the view that no fault can be attributed to the first respondent in not selecting and appointing the petitioner. The petitioner, as a matter of right, cannot seek appointment to the post of Multipurpose Health Worker (Female) and the appointment shall be made only in accordance with the rules. Hence, I do not find any infirmity in not selecting and appointing the petitioner. 10. In fine, the writ petition fails and the same stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
