JUDGMENT :

N.V. Anjaria, J.

Learned Single Judge by his judgment and order dated 24th January, 2020 allowed the Special Civil Application filed by the private respondent herein. It was directed to include the name of the respondent-original petitioner as next available candidate satisfying the merit of cut-off marks in the Socially & Educationally Backward Class (Female category), and to appoint the petitioner on the post of Deputy Section Officer/Deputy Mamlatdar, Class-III with all consequential benefits etc.

1.1 These two Letters Patent Appeal arise from the aforesaid judgment and order of learned Single Judge. Letters Patent Appeal No.643 of 2017 is preferred by original respondent No.2-Gujarat Public Service Commission, whereas the other Appeal is filed by the State-original respondent No.1, seeking to call in question the said judgment and order.

1.2 Since both the Appeals are from the same judgment and order of the learned Single Judge involving the same facts and the identical issues, they were heard together and are being treated for final disposal by this common judgment.
