Heard counsel on either side. Criteria adopted by the authorities for preferring the seventh respondent has been elaborately stated by the learned single judge in paragraph 3 of the judgment. Petitioner was awarded only 7 marks at the interview whereas seventh respondent was awarded 8½ marks which was the most decisive factor. Learned single judge therefore rightly dismissed the writ petition. We find no error in the judgment of the learned single judge. Appeal lacks merits and the same is dismissed. Sd/- K.S.
