It is submitted that, in order to create a record projecting the selection process as transparent, the respondents generated the said call letter allegedly issued to respondent No.6. The petitioner refers to the call letter issued to her, which was dated 07.11.2013, calling upon her to appear for an interview on 15.11.2013. On these grounds, the present writ petition is filed challenging the appointment of respondent No.6. 3.
