Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous. However, liberty is given to the petitioner to challenge the rejection order. No order as to costs.

Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________________ ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI, J Date: 17/ 09/ 2018 lkv
