Issue writ in the nature of Mandamus and directing the respondents department to consider the objection of the petitioner as per Annexure-F dated 25.08.2025 in the interest of justice and equity. 4. The grievance of the petitioner is that the name of the petitioner was not mentioned in the provisional list even though the petitioner has higher marks and in - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-D:13444 WP No. 107128 of 2025 that background the petitioner has submitted objections to the respondents. The apprehension is that without considering the said objections, the final list would be published. 5. Once the objections have been submitted by the petitioner, it would have to be considered by the respondents before issuance of a final list. The apprehension on the part of the petitioner is misplaced. Hence I pass the following: ORDER i. Writ petition is allowed. ii. A mandamus is issued directing the respondents to consider the objections of the petitioner at Annexure-F before publishing the final list. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-D:13444 WP No. 107128 of 2025 iii.
