The petitioner has sought for following reliefs:

"(i) Issue Rule upon the Respondents to show cause as to why writ in the nature of Mandamus and/or order/orders and/or direction/directions of like nature shall not be issued whereby directing the Respondents to compute afresh the API score of the Petitioner after taking into account Teaching Experience & Award of the Petitioner, by giving & adding 10 marks & 2 marks (in total 12 marks) respectively to the Petitioner.
(ii)Issue Rule upon the Respondents to show cause as to why writ in the nature of Mandamus and/or order/orders and/or direction/directions of like nature shall not be issued whereby quashing & cancelling the minutes of the Scrutiny Committee, constituted by the TPSC, for the subject of Physical Education in pursuance with the Advertisement No-08/2022, so far the API score of the Petitioner is concerned & to compute the API score of the Petitioner after taking into account Teaching Experience & Award of the Petitioner & thereafter to include the name of the Petitioner in the list of shortlisted candidates for the post of Assistant Professor (UR), Govt. General Degree College in Physical Education.

The petitioner to substantiate his teaching experience has placed his appointment letter under different Degree Colleges wherein his monthly salary as per UGC norms has been indicated, but, while short-listing the names of the candidates, the API scores has not been added.

The petitioner filed representation to the authority concerned, but that was also not considered. Hence, this writ petition.

During the course of hearing, Mr. Raju Datta, learned counsel appearing for the respondent-TPSC has raised a question that the petitioner has not submitted the proof that he has been receiving salary as indicated in the appointment letter.

I have considered the rival submissions of the learned counsel appearing for both the parties. It is directed that the TPSC shall add 10 marks as API score of the petitioner and short-list him so that he can appear in the selection process. It is also directed that TPSC would take interview of the petitioner.

With the aforesaid directions, the instant writ petition stands allowed and disposed.
