Agreeing with this submission, the Bench Court that the petitioner has no right to seek appointment as the Chief Engineer of the Trust.
Moreover, the Court was also of the view that for issuance of writ of mandamus, one has to establish his legal right and corresponding legal duty on the authority to consider the request. However, since the petitioner has no right, and the Central government has no duty to consider his request, no relief could be granted in this writ petition.
Consequently, the petition was dismissed.
