3) Per contra, Mr. Ateeb Kanth, learned counsel representing respondent No.1, vehemently submits that the judgment of the learned Single Judge is completely in consonance with law and the plea of the appellant that the J&K Service Selection Board had erroneously made selection of the writ petitioner under „OSC‟ category is without any substance. He urges that had it been a case of any error or mistake having been committed by the Service Selection Board, both Service Selection Board as well as the appellant had ample opportunity to correct the error. It is the contention of learned counsel for the writ petitioner that the respondent Service Selection Board not only notified the vacancy under „OSC‟ category but considered the writ petitioner along with other eligible candidates for the same in the selection process. On completion of the selection process, the candidature of the writ petitioner was recommended by the respondent Board and the appellant not only accepted the recommendation but also approved his appointment.
