¶24

ineligible for the Post of Assistant Professor, in which the name of the petitioner appears at Serial No. 5740 with Roll No. 5307209 with a remark that the petitioner is not eligible for selection because he has filled up marks-sheet of NET in place of Certificate of NET. He lastly submits that petitioner filled up the form with relevant documents as required by B.P.S.C. but in place of Certificate of NET, he filled up marks-sheet of NET.

¶25

A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the B.P.S.C. in which it is stated that the petitioner was kept under ‘only NET marks attached’ and ‘no Ph.D.’ as per the information filled up by him in Column-11 of his application form, therefore, he was kept in the list of ineligible candidates which is clear from the list and he was not called for interview.

¶26

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and the materials available on record, in my opinion, the petitioner is himself at fault because he had not filled up the application form properly and correctly and the B.P.S.C. has rightly rejected the candidature and not called for the interview.

¶27

Accordingly, this writ application merits no consideration and is dismissed.
