Petitioner - Harinder Kaur, has filed the present writ petition, for seeking quashing of the notice uploaded on the website on 30.07.2020 (Annexure P-12), and also, for quashing of the revised provisional merit list uploaded on website on 02.09.2020 (Annexure P-14), whereby, selection of the petitioner for the post of Resource Teacher, has been cancelled by the respondents, and private respondent No.5 - Ms. Kanta Devi, has been selected.
