1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR. O R D E R S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION No.14427/2008. : : Pinki Sharma Vs. Rajasthan Public Service Commission. : : Date of Order 7.7.2009 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Mr. N. K. Singhal for the petitioner. Mr. S. N. Kumawat for RPSC. Heard learned counsel for the parties. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner when the respondents declined her to appear in the RAS (Pre) Examination on the ground that she did not indicate her choice of optional subject. This Court by order dated 5.1.2009 directed the respondents to permit petitioner to appear in the examination, but however directed not to declare her result without permission of the Court. On the last date of hearing i.e. 29.5.2009, respondents were directed to produce the result of petitioner. Learned counsel for the respondent has produced the result according to which it appears that petitioner secured more marks in her category of General Female. 2 Learned counsel however submits that in column No.8 of the OMR Sheet even though petitioner indicated the choice of three optional subjects with the code number, but she did not darken the circles therebelow and, therefore, the computer in the scrutiny eliminated her application form and accordingly the same was rejected. Copy of the OMR Sheet, which is produced does indicate that petitioner had indicated the subject code as 25 and 23 in the squares respectively, but in the circles printed below each of two she did not darken the circles. Action of respondents in rejecting application of petitioner cannot be, therefore, said to be completely without basis, but at the same time, the fact remains that petitioner has now appeared in the examination, albeit pursuant to interim order passed by this Court and has qualified to appear in RAS (Main) Examination, which is scheduled to commence from 25.7.2009. Having regard to the facts of the case, the interim order dated 5.1.2009 is made absolute. Respondent-RPSC is directed to allow the petitioner to appear in the RAS (Mains) Examination in accordance with law. 3 This writ petition is disposed of accordingly. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ)J.
