Learned counsel for the petitioner also filed I.A. No. 1902 of 2018 for condonation of delay in filing of the aforesaid review petition.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner and others filed C.W.J.C. No. 443 of 2016 against the publication of result for appointment on the post of Circle Inspector. The petitioner was working on the post of Rajaswa Karamchari and the Bihar Staff Selection Commission issued advertisement for limited examination for recruitment on the post of Circle Inspector from the cadre of Rajaswa Karamchari. It is submitted that no cut-off marks was fixed in the advertisement. Many questions were wrong but the result was published after fixing minimum cut-off marks. Learned Single Bench has held that the cut-off marks was fixed for selection of meritorious candidates and declined to interfere into the result published by the Bihar Staff Selection Commission. The

Patna High Court C. REV. No.69 of 2018(4) dt.09-01-2019 3/3 Division Bench of this Court also after taking into consideration all the facts, dismissed the Letters Patent Appeal finding no merit.

Having considered the facts, we find no material for review of the order passed in L.P.A. No. 522 of 2016. Limitation is condoned but since there is no merit in the review petition, review petition is dismissed.
