16. We direct respondents to declare his result of the writen examination and on his performance being found adequate, meeting the requirement of call for interview, needful shall be done in that regard. Within a week, his result shall be declared and within three weeks, interview shall be held to allow him to test his fortune. If he is duly selected, his case for appointment may be considered in accordance with his performance in the written test and the interview.

17. In regard to the case of the other petitioner, Omprakash Gupta, there was some controversy about his performance in the written test. Accordingly, we had called for the "Model Answers" and also the "Answer Script'' of the petitioner. After examining the same, we found arbitrary marking in respect of several questions, such as questions No. 94, 129, 142, 162 and 184. We recorded our finding on 254-1990 after hearing counsel on that date in regard to the controversy that the petitioner could not be said to have secured less than 147 marks and, therefore, he was entitled to be called for interview. He was denied the chance to appear at the interview as he was held to have secured 142 marks only as against the minimum of 145 marks. Because petitioner's stake to appointment would depend on his performance in written test and also interview, we took the view that revaluation had to be undertaken by the concerned authority as it may be a case of petitioner's securing still higher marks. We had reserved orders on that date as the decision on the preliminary question had to be given.
