For the nature of order, I propose to pass in the matter, no formal written statements/counter affidavits on behalf of the respondents are indeed necessary, at this stage. Thus, with the consent of the parties, the petition is being disposed of finally.

The petitioner competed for selection to the post of Statistical Assistant in the BCB category, for, she was fully eligible therefor.

However, in the list of short-listed candidates, who were called for interview, her name and roll number was not depicted. It is urged that subsequently when the final results were declared on 09.02.2018, it transpired that the last candidate, who has been called for interview in the category of the petitioner, had secured 118 marks, whereas as per selfPrashant Kapoor 2018.03.08 17:50 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document
