The appellant preferred a writ petition forming subject matter of CWJC No. 5711 of 2009 for grant of weightage of five points on the foundation that he had participated in an Open State Tournament. The learned single judge declined the benefit on the ground that the certificate that was brought on record was not a complete document. In this appeal, on earlier occasion a report was called for from the competent authority whether the appellant had participated in the tournament in question. A counter affidavit has been filed today on behalf of the respondent no.4 wherein the report has been brought on record. The report which - 2 - contains Annexure-A/5 categorically states that the appellant had participated in the tournament. In view of the aforesaid, we allow the appeal, set aside the order passed by learned single judge and direct that the appellant shall be entitled to the benefit of five point marks. Needless to emphasize the consequential steps on awarding such marks be taken within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there shall be no order as to costs. perwez (Dipak Misra, C.J.) (Shiva Kirti Singh,J.)
