However, the petitioner's specific claim in the writ petition was that she was sick from 11.06.2018 to 11.02.2019, which disabled her from appearing for counseling. In any event, another person was appointed in her position and she has not impleaded the said person also in the writ petition. It is in these circumstances, that the petitioner has applied for absorption or appointment in any of the Government Departments, which in any event cannot be considered. The petitioner has no legal right to claim the relief prayed for.
