State of Uttarakhand & others on 24.04.2018, and the appointment of private respondent Nos. 4, 6 to 17 was quashed and set aside by the learned Single Judge. The relevant part of the said order dated 24.04.2018 is quoted hereunder:- “Learned counsel for the private respondents has also argued that for promotion, the candidates should be Graduate with Urdu as the main subject or equivalent recognized by the State Government. We are not dealing with the aspect of promotion at this stage. The private respondents did not possess essential educational qualification as prescribed under the Rules quoted hereinabove. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed. The appointment of private respondent Nos. 4, 6 to 17 is quashed and set aside. It shall be open for the respondent-State to fill up the post(s) by issuing fresh advertisement in accordance with the Recruitment and Promotion Rules.” 2. It was left open for the respondent-State to issue a fresh advertisement in accordance with the Recruitment and Promotion Rules. The said judgment of the learned Single Judge dated 24.04.2018 was put to challenge in Special Appeal being Special Appeal No. 331 of 2018, Mohd. Anwer Vs. Uttarakhand State and others and other connected two Special Appeal being Special Appeal No. 336 of 2018, Smt. Asma Siddiqui and others Vs. Mohd. Anwer and others, and Special Appeal No. 402 of 2018, Smt. Meenakshi Sah Vs. Mohd. Anwer and others. The Special Appeal was taken up before the Division Bench of this Court on 16.07.2018 and was rejected by the judgment dated 16.07.2018 with the following directions:- “Special Appeal No. 331 of 2018 will stand partly allowed. We modify the judgment of the learned Single Judge and delete the direction that “It shall be open for the respondent-State to fill up the posts by issuing fresh advertisement in accordance with the Recruitment and Promotion Rules.” Instead, we direct that respondent no. 3 will proceed to process the applications in accordance with the law. In this regard, we direct that respondent No. 3 will consider, whether the claim of the writ petitioner that he had done graduation in the year 2006 before he obtained B.Ed. is correct and borne out by the documents. 3 will proceed to process the applications in accordance with the law. In this regard, we direct that respondent No. 3 will consider, whether the claim of the writ petitioner that he had done graduation in the year 2006 before he obtained B.Ed. is correct and borne out by the documents. Respondent No. 3 will thereafter process the matter strictly in accordance with law and on the basis of the findings as to qualifications, which have been made by the learned Single Judge, which we have upheld. This process will be completed by the 3rd respondent within two months from the date of the receipt of the judgment. No order as to costs.” 3. As a matter of fact, the Division Bench, in its judgment had rather restrained the respondents from issuing fresh advertisement in accordance with the Recruitment and Promotion Rules as directed by the learned Single Judge in its judgment dated 24.04.2018.
