27. From the perusal of the above clauses of the advertisement, it comes out that advertisement notified minimum 12 years 'relevant work experience', however, did not clarify what would be considered as 'relevant work experience'. The advertisement further prescribed that selection would be made on the basis of written test and second stage is meant for scrutiny of documents. The result of written test was declared and list of short-listed candidates was prepared. Requisite number of candidates were called for document scrutiny. As per aforesaid clauses, the Stage-II comprised of scrutiny of documents which was confined to matching documents uploaded at the time of filing application with original documents. The respondent was not supposed to make either comparative study of the selected candidates nor lay down nature of experience. The respondent could verify authenticity of experience certificate furnished by candidates. There could be a candidate who possessed 12 years' experience in an organization but totally unrelated to IT field e.g. as data entry operator or marketing/finance manager. This is not case of the petitioners. Here, the respondent initially accepted experience of petitioners and issued provisional list of selected candidates. The requisite minimum qualification was 'Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT or Electronics and Communication with emphasis on Computer software and programming from a Central or State Government recognized or an AICTE approved University or Institution'. The expression 'relevant experience' in the absence of clarity was required to be read in conjunction with qualification. A candidate who had secured Bachelor degree in Computer Science or Electronics & Communication is supposed to have experience in the same field. Thus, in the absence anything contrary provided in the 27 of 38 Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:039092 2024:PHHC:039092 CWP- 1971-2024 & connected cases -28- advertisement, any candidate having experience in the field in which he possesses degree ought to be considered as 'relevant experience'. The respondent in the advertisement did not define nature of experience which led to confusion and vicious litigation. The candidates possessing requisite degree are rejected on the ground of experience. The respondent for the first time while passing speaking order dated 16.03.2023 followed by order dated 26.05.2023 notified scope of expression 'relevant work experience'.

34. The respondent had advertised posts for Bureau of Investigation and selected candidates are supposed to have degree in IT/Computer Science/Electronic with experience of twelve years. They have to assist police officials to crack hard criminal cases, thus, public interest in the appointment of candidates is involved. The advertisement consisted of two stages of selection process and Stage-II comprised of documents scrutiny. The selection had to be made on the basis of written test and experience of 12 years. Nature of experience was not specified in the advertisement. Specification of 'relevant work experience' after declaration of result was contrary to advertisement, rules of game and legitimate expectation of the candidates.
