    The Jharkhand High Court dismissed Dr. Aakanksha Kalia's writ petition seeking mandamus to compel consideration for viva voce interviews in the Jharkhand Superior Judicial Service recruitment. The court held that while mandamus can be issued to dispose of a representation according to law, it cannot be issued to decide it in a particular manner; since the petitioner's representation was rejected and disposed of during the hearing, no further relief could be granted, leaving her with liberty to challenge the rejection decision through appropriate remedies.
