1. The present writ petition has been filed for issuance of direction upon the respondents to declare the petitioner as a successful candidate in the JTET (PT), 2016 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the said examination’), conducted by the Jharkhand Academic Council (in short JAC), as she has got 78 marks, which is higher than that of the last successful candidate.

2. The factual background of the case, as stated in the writ petition, is that the JAC published Advertisement No. 47/2016 dated 31.08.2016 for conducting the said examination and thereby inviting applications from the candidates who were interested and eligible for the same.
