{ 1 } S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.2069/1997. (GIRDHAR GOPAL VS. STATE OF RAJASTHAN & ANR.) DATE OF ORDER : 11.02.2009. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. P.S. Chundawat for the petitioner. Mr. Khet Singh for Mr. J.P. Joshi for the respondents. Mr. Anand Purohit, AAG. The Rajasthan Public Service Commission under an advertisement dated 23.04.1996 invited applications from eligible candidates to participate in Rajasthan and Subordinate Services Combined Competitive Examination. After qualifying the preliminary test, the petitioner was not permitted to appear in main examinations being an Engineering Graduate. The decision of the Commission aforesaid is questioned by way of filing this petition for writ. This Court on 14.07.1997 by an interim order directed the respondent Commission to permit the petitioner to participate provisionally in Rajasthan State and Subordinate Services examinations concerned. Accordingly, the petitioner faced the same. It is stated by learned counsel for the respondent Commission that cut-off marks relating to the petitioner's category is 788, whereas the petitioner secured only 742 marks, { 2 } therefore, even in the event of acceptance of this petition for writ, no appointment could be given to him and, therefore, adjudication of the petition on merits shall be having no worth. In light of the statement above, I am also of the view that adjudication of this petition shall be nothing but an academic exercise and, no relief can be granted to the petitioner relating to his appointment, therefore, the petition for writ is dismissed as becoming infructuous.
