2.The writ petition is one challenging the selection for the post of Assistant Engineer, pursuant to the recruitment notification issued in 2014. The petitioner has filed the writ petition without impleading the selected candidates. However, he seeks permission to file the writ petition without impleading the persons who are interested. Though the Rule 2(A) of the Rules will come to the aid of the petitioner to file a writ petition without impleading all the selected candidates but by impleading anyone of them by showing him/her representing other selected candidates, this petition is not maintainable, as the petitioner seeks relief which is against settled principles.

3.The learned counsel for the respondent undertakes that the petitioner's counsel will be furnished with the names and addresses of at least some of the selected candidates.
