This Court in Savita Budania v. State of Rajasthan & Ors., SBCivil Writ Petition No.9062/2012, decided on 4.9.2012, while dealing with the similar controversy held as under:-

"From perusal of the documents Annex.-5 and Annex.-6, it is apparent that the petitioner with quite diligence rectified the error committed by her. While availing examination also she mentioned her special category as an "Extra-ordinary Sportsman" in OMR sheets. The respondents, therefore, should have condoned the error and should have considered her candidature in the category of "Backward class (woman)" with the special category of "Outstanding Sportsman". The respondents while making recruitment may avail assistance of technology but at the same time a human approach is also require to be kept in mind. The object of holding competitive test is to have best available hand and in this process merit should not be compromised just for the reason that the mechanical procedure adopted do not support the manual exercise. In the cases, if the human error is rectified with all diligence at earliest possible, a condonation of error is desirable. The total ignorance of such rectification results into hardship and arbitrariness only. The non-consideration of the petitioner under her special category despite necessary correction at the earliest is highly unjust and arbitrary, as such is in violation of Article 14 of the Constitution of India."
