According to the petitioner, going by the answer sheet published by the PSC, the petitioner has scored more than the minimum marks of 40 required for inclusion in the ranked list. Therefore, he seeks a direction to the PSC to recheck the petitioner's answer sheet and to include him in the ranked list for the Higher Secondary School Teacher (Junior) in Botany. The learned standing counsel appearing for the PSC submits that the petitioner scored only 38 marks and that is why the petitioner was not included in the ranked list. In the above circumstances, leaving open other remedies available to the petitioner in the matter, this writ petition is closed. Sd/- S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE jp
