were also produced before the learned Single Judge.
Reason: However, the

1
Division Bench while declining to grant interim order had mentioned

in para 8 that the respondent was recruited against an open category

vacancy and not as an ST category candidate which according to

learned counsel is factually incorrect.

The petitioners may approach the High Court and produce the

records and seek modification of the impugned order.

The special leave petition stands disposed of.

Learned counsel for the petitioners states that the contempt

petition has been filed for which 19th June, 2017 has been fixed on

which date all the officers have been directed to appear personally.

He wanted that the contempt proceedings be stayed and the officers be

not present on that date before the Court. We are not inclined to

pass such an order.

In the interest of justice, we direct the Head of Department

concerned who is stationed in the State of Assam shall appear before

the Court.
