Respondent Nos. 1 to 4, who were working as Electricians [HS], Grade II, by O.A. No. 771/93 challenged the selection of the appellants as Electricians [HS]. A Division Bench of the Tribunal after going through the record of the selection and the mark sheets found that out of the total marks of 100, 35 marks have been allotted to written test, 40 marks for practical test and 25 marks for viva voce. All the applicants had not obtained the qualifying minimum marks of 50 per cent prescribed for general candidates and 40 per cent marks for SC/ST candidates.
