According to the instructions of the high court, three officials and the secretary of the TPSC appeared in the high court and apologized unconditionally through an affidavit. Meanwhile, according to the High Court's order, the two writ petitioners, who were denied appointment to the post of doctor, have been offered appointment to the post of doctor in the health department. Justice T Amarnath Gaur acquitted three top bureaucrats and the TPSC secretary of contempt of court by executing the High Court verdict with an unconditional apology. Senior Advocate Purushottam Roy Barman, Advocate Samarjit Bhattacharya and Kaushik Nath were in the case for the petitioners.
