However, due to high qualification rates, upliftment of the qualification minima to 60 per cent for open merit and 55 per cent for SC and ST candidates was done respectively. Following which, the petitioners, represented by counsels A. V. Gupta and Aditya Gupta, challenged the same and contested it to be an erroneous selection process as it was changed mid-way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Writ Court, however, refused the claims and recognized the liberty of adopting such shortlisting mechanisms. Further, the Court issued a mandamus to make afresh recommendations to shift candidates within categories. Thereafter, aggrieved by the latter portion of the judgment an appeal was brought citing that no such relief was prayed for in the petition and therefore it lay outside the Court&#8217;s scope.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Issue:<\/b> Whether a modification could be brought in the selection criteria post the commencement of the process and whether the Court could grant relief without hearing the effective parties and despite it not being prayed for in the petition.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The appellant proposed a two-fold argument. Firstly, the relief prayed for merely claimed an interview round to be conducted and not for prescribing directions to change categories of candidates. Secondly, the Court did not ensure the presence of the aggrieved parties which was necessary for the proceedings.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court concurred with the aforesaid submission and deemed such actions to be highly unjust and inequitable.
