Distributorship at Vaikom under open (Woman) category. However, in the selection process the 4th respondent was preferred to the petitioner. According to the petitioner, the award of marks is not correct. The petitioner contends that she was entitled to more marks than what has been awarded. The petitioner has filed Ext.P5 complaint regarding the award of marks. As per the guidelines in this regard, a candidate who participated in the selection process can file complaint against the award of marks. That being so, the 1st respondent is bound to consider Ext.P5 in accordance with the guidelines. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and the rival candidate.
