Heard Shri Ravi Pratap Singh, learned counsel for the original petitioner/appellant and Shri Rajiv Gupta, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel. 2.

By that order, learned single judge has dismissed the writ petition on the reasoning that though the original petitioner filed an affidavit with respect to his candidature before the interview, no such affidavit could be traced and no proof of its filing was produced by the original petitioner. 3. Submission is, in the present case, no affidavit was required to be filed by the original petitioner inasmuch as the mistake was on part of the respondent authorities in describing the name of the original petitioner as 'Ram Naresh Patel' in place of 'Ram Darash Patel'.
