21. We may note, significantly, that the petitioner never chose to place on record, with the OA, the rejoinder, or the reply to the additional effort to be filed by the GNCTD before the Tribunal, her application form or her Master's degree certificates, for reasons which would presently become painfully obvious. Possibly because the respondents, with their counter-affidavit before the Tribunal, placed the two application forms on record, the petitioner has had no option but to aver something with respect to the application forms in her writ petition. She has chosen to claim the first application form to be hers, and to completely disown the second application. Indeed, she may have no other option, as Roll No. 4500000120, as well as the reference to IGNOU as the University from which the petitioner obtained her Masters Degree, find reference only in the first application form. The second application form, which the petitioner disowns, shows her Roll No to be 4500001912 and Delhi University as the University from where she obtained her Masters' degree.

22. We reproduce, hereunder, the aforesaid "first application", which the petitioner asserts to be hers, and the "second application", which she disowns:

23. It is here that we are reminded of Scott.

24. Scott's immortal quote from 'Marmion' appears, to us, to fit the facts in the present case to a tee. The petitioner, perhaps out of anxiety or perhaps because she had some apprehensions about the first application form filled by her, possibly because she had entered the University from where she obtained her Masters's degree wrongly, actually ended up filling two applications and submitting them. In the process, she has landed herself in a situation when she can neither disown the first application form nor the second application form, despite her attempts at seeking at the latter both before the Tribunal and before this Court.
