It is contended that since the petitioner qualified in all the physical test so available under Annexure-4 series, there was no occasion not to include the name of the petitioner in the select list.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties, considering the submissions made and the stand taken in the Writ Petition, this Court while disposing the Writ Petition, permits the petitioner to move an appropriate application before O.P. No.1 for including his name in the select list so published, after completion of the physical test. It is observed that if any such application will be moved on or before 26.08.2025, O.P.
