CWP-11135-2020 -24.
As regards the assessment made during the interview, causing the total score of the petitioner to be 244.20, whilst that of abovenamed candidates 255.20 and 254.50, it would be worthwhile to refer to Lalit Kumar vs. State of Punjab, CWP-26845-2013 decided on 20.12.2016, wherein it was held that a writ Court cannot sit as one of appeal and try to re-assess the relative merit of the candidates assessed at the oral interview by the Selection Committee, which is determined based on their overall performance.
5.
It is trite that a candidate without any demur having rubbed shoulders with others in a selection, however, on the result not being palatable to him, cannot challenge the same by alleging that there was some flaw in the process or unfairness in the interview. 6.
It is on the subjective satisfaction of the Committee that it grants marks in the interview, which is based on how well one had fared in the said process. The marks assigned for interview in the criteria prescribed have not been shown to be beyond the permissible percentage. Merely asserting that had the petitioner been awarded some more marks in the interview, he would have been selected, is neither here nor there. No selection process would culminate, if unsuccessful candidates, who fetched lower marks in the interview, were to raise such an argument. 7.
In view of the above, the present petition being bereft of merits is dismissed. $"$A"$?
