The persons, who have satisfied all the eligibility criteria shall be included in the panel. 2. The petitioner was not included in the panel on the ground that she passed the departmental test that is required only on 16.3.2011 after the crucial date. 3. It is admitted that the examination for the said test took place on 30.12.2010 and the result was published on 16.3.2011 and she was successful. Therefore, the pass in the said test shall relate back to 30.12.2010. The only reason for not including the petitioner in the panel is that she passed the test after the crucial date. 4.
