The plea of the petitioner argued

The advocate of the petitioner argued that in the Other Backward Classes category, the quality point marks of the petitioner are 71.1 per cent, but he was not called for counseling. In contrast, 68.78 per cent of the number was called, which is not correct.

Additional Chief Permanent Advocate Rannvijay Singh, appearing for the state government in this case, said that there is no question of appointing a candidate with fewer marks, and if there is any mistake, it will be rectified.

This is the whole case

The selection process is going on for the recruitment of 69,000 teachers in the council schools of the state. The final list of 67867 candidates was released in the month of June, but on the very first day of counseling, the High Court stayed the selection.
