Judgment Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. 1. The petitioner is aggrieved as though he had given his first choice to Haridwar but he is being posted as an assistant teacher in primary school at Champawat. According to the petitioner, the persons who are less meritorious have been given posting as an assistant teacher in primary school in Haridwar. Learned counsel for the petitioner has pointed out towards the advertisement where candidates were asked to give their choice of districts. 2. Asking a candidate for such choice is primarily not only arbitrary but would lead to a situation which would not be beneficial for the State or for better education in the State, as all the candidates who are in the higher up in the merit would normally give their choice for Dehradun or Haridwar. 3. In view thereof, let the respondents/State authorities shall file a detail counter affidavit within a period of three weeks stating therein as to what compelled them for asking such a choice from the candidates and what is the object they want to achieve by asking for choice. 4. No interim relief is liable to be given to the petitioner at this stage. Interim relief application (CLMA) No.12010 of 2014 is hereby rejected. 5. It is further directed that if petitioner does not join at Champawat within one week from today, the respondents shall be at liberty to take any action against the petitioner in accordance with law. 6. Mr. Vikas Pandey, learned Brief Holder, undertakes to apprise the state authorities about this order. 7. Let a copy of this order be given to the learned State counsel free of cost and a certified copy of this order be given to the learned counsel for the petitioner within 24 hours on payment of usual charges.
