18. The issue of grading being vague of criteria specially tampering also cannot be accepted as it was a criteria applied to one and all and as mentioned on the basis of a pre-designed software of the Maruti Udyog Ltd. The 4 options had been given to the candidates who were to answer the 5 questions and, therefore, the assessment was to be made across the Board on the same pattern through 10 committees which also were initially questioned by the co-ordinate Bench vide interim order dated 21.01.2016, which has now been duly justified. It is settled principle also that the candidates cannot challenge the criteria prescribed after being unsuccessful in the selection process and reliance can be placed upon judgment in Madan Lal and others vs. State of Jammu & Kashmir, 1995 (1) SCR 908; Chandra Prakash Tiwari and others vs. Shakuntala Shukla, 2002 (6) SCC 127 and the recent judgment of the Apex Court in Civil Appeal Nos. 8345- 46 of 2009, D. Sarojakumari vs. R. Helen Thilakom and others dated 13.09.2017. The petitioners having taken a calculated chance and having not made the grade now cannot turn around and say that the process of grading was to their detriment. Even otherwise, since a large number of candidates had been selected by different Committees, this Court is of the opinion that since they had crossed the hurdle of the initial practical road tests and the qualification was only 10th class with Hindi and the drivers had been recruited, it was more important to see their practical ability. The Committees have insured that the ones who had crossed that hurdle and had reached the final stage were given 5 questions to answer and then the gradings were accordingly provided. It is also to be noticed that the selection process was also subject matter of challenge in CWP No. 728 of 20 of 26 2009, Sanjay and others vs. State of Haryana and others. As noticed above, the said Court had called for the complete records but the record pertaining to Sonepat Depot could not be produced. The aspect of grading was also noticed to record a finding that the selection process was fair and transparent but since the Sonepat record had not been produced, the selection for Sonepat had been set aside. The relevant portion in Sanjay's case (supra) reads thus:-

"What is interesting to note is that in the depots pertaining to Karnal and Chandigarh as also the few others, the Selection Committee has awarded the grades in their own hand and each page has been signed by them and thus forwarded to the Head Office. In some of the proceedings the total tabulation of the candidates who have received A+, A, B and C grades have also been recorded and to verify further the total number of candidates interviewed have been tallied with the persons who have been granted these grades. This reflects an insight into the mind of the Selection Committee which is conducting the process in a fair and transparent manner. But in so far as Sonepat depot is concerned, no such proceedings are available on record despite the persistence of this Court. Learned Advocate General with vehemence at his command has contended repeatedly that the list sent by the Sonepat depot is a compilation and even if this plea is accepted,the Court wants to know the foundation and the basis from which such compilation is carried out in print. It is not conceivable that the members of the Selection Committee would have prepared this list at the time of conducting the interviews and what transpired during the interview has to find its manifestation in the proceedings which the members

The writ petition is thus accepted. The impugned selection of the Drivers pertaining to the Sonepat depot is set aside and the respondents-State of Haryana is directed to hold the selection afresh by considering all the 100 candidates who have passed the three tests afresh. After the same is done, the list of the selected candidates shall be sent to the Head Office which shall prepare a fresh selection list of the entire State of Haryana by including the result of the fresh selection of Sonepat depot."
