Civil Writ Petition No. 22754 of 2010 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.22754 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: 21.12.2010 Malkit Kaur ..Petitioner Versus Punjab Public Service Commission, Patiala ..Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.KUMAR HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE RITU BAHRI Present:- Mr. Vivek Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. 1. To be referred to the Reports or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M.KUMAR, J. The instant petition has been placed before a Division Bench on account of the view taken by the learned Single Judge in other similar matters while disposing of Civil Writ Petition No. 22560 of 2010 on 17.12.2010. Accordingly, the writ petition was entertained on 18.12.2010. The argument raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that there was a minor lapse committed by the petitioner in the application form to participate in the selection process for the Punjab Civil Services (Executive Branch) examination which was slated to be held on 19.12.2011. The only minor lapse committed by the petitioner was that she did not darken the bubbbles of Column No.4 of the Application Form meant for `Optional Subject Code'. While issuing notice of motion, we have permitted the petitioner to Civil Writ Petition No. 22754 of 2010 (O&M) 2 appear in the examination on 19.12.2010 and have asked the Commission to permit the rectification of the application form either in the examination hall itself or two days thereafter. Mr. Suvir Sehgal, learned State counsel has pointed out that like other candidates, who were before this Court in Letters Patent Appeal Nos. 1741 and 1767 of 2010, the petitioner has also taken the examination and the mistakes committed by her in the application form stand rectified. Mr. Suvir Sehgal further states that her result as per her merit shall be declared and no further direction would be required. In view of the above, the writ petition has been rendered infructuous and is disposed of as such. However, we make it clear that the result of the petitioner shall be declared as per her merit. No costs. ( M.M.KUMAR ) JUDGE ( RITU BAHRI ) 21.12.2010 JUDGE VK
