While filing Online form (Annexure P-2), the petitioner inadvertently mentioned his category as ‘OBC Creamy Lawyer’, but in fact, he belongs to ‘OBC Non-Creamy Lawyer’. He further submits that he has submitted a representation Annexure P-5 for correction of his category, therefore, he submits that, the respondents may be directed to consider the case of the petitioner and decide the representation (Annexure P-5) submitted by the petitioner by treating his category as ‘OBC Non-Creamy Lawyer’ in place of ‘OBC Creamy Lawyer’. 3. Learned counsel for the respondents would submit that, specific instructions have been issued by the respondents for filing of Online form, according to which, last date of filing of Online form was 8-12- 2025 and any mistake can be corrected from 9-12-2025 till 11-12-2025.

He further 3 submits that, similar view has also been reiterated by learned Division Bench in Writ Appeal No. 11/2025 (Preeti -v- Chhattisgarh Professional Examination Board (Cgvyapam and Anr.), therefore he submits that, this writ petition deserves to be rejected out rightly. 4.

As per the instructions issued by the respondents vide Annexure P-1, Clause 3 specifically provides that, correction in the Online form could be done from 1st date after last date of filing of form till 3 days i.e. till 11- 12-2025.

Having considered the aforesaid clear instructions issued by the respondents and in the light of the view taken by learned Division Bench of this Court in afore-cited cases, this Court is not inclined to entertain instant writ petition by directing the respondents to decide representation Annexure P-5 filed by the petitioner, as the petitioner has lost time to get corrected his Online form. 7.
