¶50

representation within a time frame fixed by this Hon'ble Court;

¶51

Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned

¶52

Government Pleader.

¶53

It is submitted by the learned Counsel for the petitioner that

the details of the petitioner and the marks awarded to her in Ext.P6 select list are erroneous since the entire length of the petitioner's service has not been taken into account and that her caste is wrongly shown in Ext.P6.

¶55

The learned Government Pleader submits that the

¶56

contentions of the petitioner are liable to be considered by the 1^st respondent.

¶57

There will accordingly be a direction to the 1^st respondent to

¶58

take up Ext.P8 complaint raised by the petitioner and to take an appropriate decision on the same, within a period of two months from the

¶59

date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner as well as any

¶60

other affected persons shall be put on notice and heard through any

¶62

appropriate means including video conferencing before taking a decision

¶63

on Ext.P8 complaint.
