Heera Lal – Appellant
Versus
Rajasthan Public Service Commissioner – Respondent
JUDGMENT
1. This appeal is directed against the order dated 18.02.2022 passed by the learned Single Judge whereby the petition seeking mandamus for correction of the entries made in the application form has been dismissed.
2. Learned counsel for the appellant would argue that the appellant indisputably belongs to non-gazetted government employee category. It was only by inadvertent mistake that while submitting the application form, the said mention could not be made. However, even before the start of the main examination, when it was realized after receipt of the admit card, immediately an application for correction was made. Learned counsel for the appellant would argue that the judgments, which have been relied upon by the learned Single Judge to dismiss the writ petition, are distinguishable on facts because those were the cases where the correction was not carried out within the time limit prescribed in the admit cards, whereas in the present case, no time limit has been prescribed in the admit cards.
3. Relying upon an order passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court in the case of Chandra Prakash Sharma v. State of Rajasthan & Ors. [S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 12016/2021
