The petitioner also made an application and he attended the interview held on 29.10.2002. Subsequently, a list of selected candidates was exhibited but the petitioner’s name was not present in the list of selected candidates. The grievance of the petitioner is that he is entitled to know his result through a speaking order as per Para 7 of BPMS No.271dated 31.12.1997. As per Para 7 of the said board proceedings if a candidate is not found eligible for selection, speaking orders have to be issued indicating the reasons of their ineligibility and the same has to be communicated to the petitioner. Since the petitioner is contending that no such order has been issued to him the respondents are directed to communicate the result of the petitioner to him by giving reasons for his non-selection within four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. __________________ Dr. G.
