[Arising out of SLP (Civil) No. 145 of 2003]

S.B. SINHA, J :

1. Leave granted.

2. This case has a chequered history. Appellants herein were

appointed as Chargeman Grade-II. They were, in terms of the Scheme

dated 23rd April, 1965, required to appear in an examination for

appointment to the post of Chargeman Grade-II or Supervisor Grade-A

initially. They appeared in the said examination. They were, however,

appointed as Supervisor Grade-A on account of the marginal difference

in the marks obtained by them from the others who were appointed as

Chargeman Grade-II. The Director General on or about 4th May, 1967

taking into consideration the marginal difference in the marks obtained

by the appellants decided to give another chance to the appellants to

appear within six months in the next examination so as to enable them

to be graded as Chargeman Grade-II, in the event, if they qualify

therein
