TSSPDCL has recently conducted exam for the Post of Junior Accounts Officer for 100 Marks (Part A for 80 marks and Part B for 20 Marks).
I have got 70 Marks (56 Marks in Part A and 14 Marks in Part B) and I was ranked 93rd. My Date of Birth is 22.05.1987
For the same 70 Marks, a Candidate whose Date of Birth is 30.07.1995 was given 69th Rank, becasue he scored better marks than me in Part A. (His scoring was Part A 62 marks and 8 Marks in Part B).
As per my understanding and time tested principle, which is usually adopted by UPSC/ TSPSC or any other Institiution in case of a Tie of Marks is that, The Person who is Older in Age is given better rank than Candidate whose is younger.
But in my case, first preference in ranking was given to that candidate who secured better marks in Part A , instead of Age being given first preference.
Had the Selection of Candidates been made on the Basis of Age (in case of equal marks), I would stand a chance to get Selected and find a place in the Selection List.
Even the Notification inviting application for the Job, never mentioned the fact that Weightage will be Given to Part A while ranking Students. Not even the Service Regulations of TSSPDCL speaks about Tie Breaking Principle.
Very recently I have got to know that the entire Selection Procedure (including Certification Verification, Executing Bond etc) has been completed by TSSPDCL and is in the process of issuing Appointment Letters in a day or two.
During these Vacations, my Case could not be accepted by the Telangana High Court, because Service Matters were not taken up by the Judge.
In View of the above Situation,
1. I would like to know my Legal Position.
2. What is the Settled Law Position with respect to giving priority to age over marks in Part A.
3. Do I stand a chance in getting/ winning this case and secure a seat in TSSPDCL.
4. Do I need to worry because the entire Selection Procedure will get over, by the time Courts Resume on 04.06.2018.
I am giving links to the following for reference, as i am unable to attach the same.
