CWP No. 20427 of 2013 -2letters and the claim of petitioner No.4 i.e. Nirmaljeet Kaur with registration No. 20070954, stands rejected by an order dated 12.01.2015. Nirmaljeet Kaur as per the revised merit list obtained 62.4000 marks which is lower than the last selected candidate in the merit list. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. In view of the fact that revised merit list has been prepared by giving the petitioners their additional marks for their experience, nothing survives in this writ petition.
