He along with other candidates approached this Court, challenging the memo affixed by the respondents in the notice board on 06- 10-1999 on the ground that the respondents resorted to add more marks to some of the candidates more than the maximum marks prescribed in the test. This Court directed that the marks for interview should not be more than 10% of the total marks prescribed for the selection. The petitioner is contending that he secured 550 out of 600, but he was not selected nor informed about the result. He therefore, approached this Court seeking to declare that the action of the respondents in not considering his case while including the names of the persons with lesser marks in the merit list as illegal and arbitrary and to direct the respondents to include the name of the petitioner in the merit list. The petitioner is not having the information as to how many marks each candidate has got and on what guidelines the respondents prepared the merit list. Therefore, it would be appropriate, if the petitioner makes a representation to the respondents expressing his grievance regarding his request for inclusion of his name in the list of merit candidates, and on receipt of such representation, the respondents are directed to pass appropriate orders according to the rules within eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the same to the petitioner. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ 24th September 2004. mrb ASSSISTANT REGISTRAR To 1 The Chairman & Managing Director, A.P.
