Quick Summary: S.R. Arul Raja Selvan's request to be made an Associate NCC Officer was turned down by the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court. The court decided to keep Lt. Boyed Wesley in the position.
The case, W.P.(MD) No.6614 of 2017, was heard by Justice A.D. Maria Clete. S.R. Arul Raja Selvan wanted the court to cancel a previous decision and make him the Associate NCC Officer. However, the court turned down his request, confirming that he had no legal right to the job.
"Based on the above, it is decided that the person asking for this has no legal right to the position in question."
This was Mr. Selvan's second attempt in court. Earlier, the court had asked the NCC authority to reconsider his application, but it was rejected again because it didn't have enough merit. The role was already taken by Lt. Boyed Wesley, who was chosen, trained, and started working in 2008-09.
The court found that there was no open position since 2009. The Nesamony Memorial Christian College, where the role was based, didn't need a new appointment. The college's administrative committee also supported Lt. Wesley staying in the role.
"It was decided to accept and appreciate the work of Lt. A. Boyed Wesley as the Associate NCC officer..."
Unfortunately for Mr. Selvan, the court's decision means he won't be getting the NCC role. The denial of his request also means there are no more legal options in this case. The court's decision was clear: Lt. Wesley is the right person for the job.
The court decided that Mr. Selvan did not have a right to the NCC Officer position, and Lt. Boyed Wesley will continue in the role.
