Decided On March 17, 2020
Fatima Rahim And Others Appellant
V/S
STATE OF JANDK Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) As the issues involved in all these petitions are almost common, all the writ petitions are being taken up together.

(2.) In writ petition No. SWP 381/2011, the petitioners have sought directions to the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission, ( for short, the Commission' hereafter), to add up the reduced marks in the subject of Kashmiri Literature, by quashing the reduction made by the Commission and to determine the merit of the petitioners accordingly. A further prayer has been sought to direct the Commission to publish the subject wise marks awarded to each of the candidate as also the marks awarded in the interview so that transparency is maintained. Petitioners have also prayed that in the event it is found that petitioners have secured more marks as against the selected candidates, the Commission be directed to include the petitioners also in the select list and their names be recommended for appointment to the services for which they have opted, and to disclose the qualifying marks, if fixed, in the subjects offered by the candidates in the main examination.

(3.) In SWP No. 378/2011, however, the petitioners have challenged the selection inter alia on the ground that in the optional subject' Urdu Literature' their marks have been reduced arbitrarily and without any reason and, resultantly they have been ousted from the zone of selection. The petitioners have taken almost same grounds as are taken by the petitioners in SWP No. 381/2011.
