JUDGMENT :
SRI ANANDA SEN, J.
1. Heard the parties.
2. The petitioner in this writ petition prays for an issuance of appropriate direction in the nature of certiorari to quash the letter dated 08.01.2019 (as it relates to the petitioner, annexure 6) by which the application for recruitment of the petitioner to the post of Trained Graduate Teacher has been rejected pursuant to advertisement no. 21/2016.

In compliance with the aforesaid letter, the petitioner furnished the caste certificate within the time which was mentioned in Annexure 6 but the case of the petitioner was not considered and was rejected as a result of which the petitioner was treated to be an unreserved candidate. He further submits that when the caste certificate was already produced before the J.S.S.C., even beyond the cut-off date, the same could not have been rejected.
