The grievance of the Petitioners is that Respondent No. 2 before whom the proposals sent by Respondent Nos. 3 and 4 for approval of the Petitioners' appointment is pending has not decided the same as yet.

Till the Petitioners' claim for approval is considered and decided, the status quo as it exists today in respect of post occupied by the Petitioners shall be maintained.

7. The Petitions stand disposed of as such.
