Jyotsna Rewal Dua, Judge The gist of petitioner’s case was noticed in the following order passed on 11.03.2025:- “Notice. Ms. Leena Guleria, learned Deputy Advocate General, accepts service of notice on behalf of respondents No. 1 to 3. Issue notice to respondent No.4, returnable within four weeks, on taking steps within a week. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that respondent No.4 the selected candidate has been allocated marks, which were not due to him whereas, the petitioner has been deprived of the marks, which were due to him. Respondents to file reply within four weeks, inter-alia, adverting to the above convention. List thereafter.” 2. Respondents have filed reply to the writ petition. In terms of the reply, marks had been wrongly awarded towards the experience certificate of Pump Attendant -2- furnished by respondent No.4. Hence, respondent No.3 being the Competent Authority issued notice to respondent No.4, whereafter respondent No.4 himself tendered his resignation and left the work on his own on 11.04.2025. The reply also states that marks were correctly awarded to the petitioner for the selection process in question. The petitioner was justly not awarded any marks for his BPL Certificate, which had been rendered invalid on the date of consideration. The reply further states that even if the said certificate furnished by the petitioner is treated as valid then also there are more meritorious candidates than the petitioner. 3. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner fairly submits that in view of reply filed by the respondents, the case of the petitioner for award of more marks to him, for his selection and appointment in the selection process in question is not made out. In view of above submissions, this writ petition to stand dismissed, so also the pending miscellaneous application(s), if any. Jyotsna Rewal Dua 24th June, 2025 Judge (Pardeep)
