1. Affidavit of service filed on behalf of the petitioner is taken on record.

2. Petitioner submitted application in terms of Recruitment Notification dated 30th May, 2025 being memo no.

1092/7016/CSSC/ESTT/2025.

Inadvertently in the online application form which was submitted by the petitioner against "subject applied for" petitioner stated Education (PG) instead of English (PG) and based on which admit card was supplied to the petitioner treating her as Education (PG) candidate not English (PG). Petitioner by

instituting this writ petition has prayed for direction which would permit her to participate in the ensuing written test scheduled on 14th September, 2025 as English (PG) candidate.

3. Prayer made by the petitioner is opposed by Mr. Bhattacharyya, learned advocate representing West Bengal Central School Service Commission (for short, "Commission"). It is submitted on behalf of the Commission that just before written examination scheduled on 14th September, if the Commission is directed to treat the petitioner as English (PG) candidate that would create difficulty in complying necessary formality thereby permitting the petitioner to participate in the ensuing examination by treating her as English (PG) candidate. It is also contended that representation was made by the petitioner to the concerned authority of the Commission which is much after submitting application in online mode. Therefore, according to the Commission, at this belated stage prayer of the petitioner may be allowed if petitioner agrees to attend office of the Commission at Saltlake, Kolkata for writing examination.

4. Mr. Samim, learned advocate representing the petitioner on instruction submits that petitioner is willing to participate in the written examination

scheduled on 14th September, 2025 by attending the office of the Commission at Saltlake, Kolkata.

5. In view of aforesaid submissions made on behalf of the parties, concerned authority of the Commission is directed to make necessary arrangement which would permit the petitioner to participate in written examination scheduled on 14th September, 2025 by attending the office of the Commission at Saltlake, Kolkata. Concerned authority of the Commission is directed to issue fresh admit card thereby treating the petitioner as English (PG) candidate before 14th September, 2025.

6. Writ petition stands disposed of.

7. Learned advocate for the petitioner is granted leave to communicate this order without waiting for server copy of this order to the Commission.

8. Parties to act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Saugata Bhattacharyya, J.)
