3. In the counter it is stated as follows:
(a) The petitioner was sponsored by the Employment Exchange. He belongs to B.C. Community. But, he was wrongly selected under the reserved quota for S.C. He was only intimated about his provisional selection. On verification it was found out that he belonged to 'B.C.' and not 'S.C.'.
Therefore, his provisional selection was cancelled. The selection itself was subject to W.A.Nos.1482, 1483 and 1498 of 1997. The recruitment was made on merit; the cut off marks under the non-priority BC candidate was 82.3500, whereas the petitioner secured only 72.3485 marks. But, he got more than the cut-off marks prescribed for S.C. candidate. Under the wrong impression that the petitioner belonged to 'S.C.' community, he was selected provisionally. When the mistake was found out, it was cancelled. Therefore, there is no violation of any of the Service Rule nor principles of natural justice. Hence, the writ petition is liable to be set aside.
