    Case Summary: The writ petition challenges a 2017 recruitment process where Kingsuk Ghosh claims improper assessment. After approaching the Administrative Tribunal in 2022, re-evaluation confirmed he was wrongly allotted marks and actually scored sufficiently for recommendation. However, neither the Tribunal nor PSC issued consequential directions or confirmed the 2019 panel remains active. The court adjourned the matter to May 12, 2026, to consider whether judicial review can mandate appointment nearly 9 years after recruitment initiation and 7 years after merit list publication.
