Heard Sri Vivek Kumar Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Chief Standing counsel for the State.
The petitioner had appeared in Teachers' Eligibility Test. The result of the test was declared on 25.11.2011. Petitioner was declared failed. There was a provision for scrutiny. The petitioner applied for the same. As a result of the scrutiny, the petitioner was declared passed on 11.1.2012. Meanwhile, the candidates who were declared passed in the earlier results, were required to apply for appointment on the post of Assistant Teacher� latest by 9.1.2012. It is very obvious that the last date for applying for appointment is two days earlier to the date of declaration of the result of scrutiny. The petitioner applied for appointemnt only after the declaration of the result on 11.1.2012. She applied on 13.1.2012 but her case has been rejected on the ground that the application is delayed. Prima facie this argument and the reasoning of the opposite parties is fallacious and arbitrary. Scrutiny means correction of mistake on the part of the examining body itself. There is no fault of the candidate in any manner. If the calculation has not been done by the examiner correctly, the candidate can not be made to suffer in any manner.
