O R D E R

(Order of the Court was made by The Hon'ble Chief Justice) The petitioners applied for recruitment to the post of SubInspector in pursuance to the notification issued on 08.02.2015 as departmental candidates under the BC category. There is a separate category for BC (Muslim-Men and Women) and the petitioners had ticked both the columns. This appears to have caused some confusion in the mind of the respondent authorities. 2.In any case, that confusion is over and the learned Additional Advocate General cannot seriously dispute the competency of the petitioners to participate in the examination. 3.The petitioners are, thus, entitled to the declaration of their results having gone through all the stages, according to merit.

4.Writ petitions stand allowed. No costs.
