Heard learned counsel representing the petitioner and learned counsel representing the respondents. 3. After hearing the parties and going through the records, I find that the petitioner applied for the post of Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) (Class-VI to VIII), pursuant to Advertisement No.13/2023, under EBC-I category. 4. During the course of argument, learned counsel representing the respondent – Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC), submits that the petitioner in his category and subject has obtained 195.9438483 marks, whereas the last selected candidate in the category and subject of the petitioner, has obtained 201.860525786 marks, as per the State wise merit list as on date, thus at this stage it is clear that the petitioner has obtained much lesser marks than the last selected candidate in the category and subject of the petitioner. 2026:JHHC:8768 4 5. Considering the aforesaid fact, I am of the opinion that no relief can be granted to the petitioner, as admittedly the petitioner has obtained lesser marks than the last selected candidate. 6. With the aforesaid observation and direction, this writ petition stands disposed of. 6.1. However, since it has been admitted that the appointment process is still continuing, be it noted that if in future, it is found that any person obtaining lesser marks than the petitioner in the category and subject of the petitioner as per the State wise merit list, has been appointed, it will be open to the petitioner to approach the respondent - JSSC by filing a representation showing proof that the person having lesser marks has been appointed. In that event, the JSSC will consider the case of the petitioner and pass appropriate order. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 25th March, 2026 Prashant. Cp-2 Uploaded on 02.04.2026
