Further in the Counter Affidavit filed by the 1st respondent, it is stated that the 1st respondent in its proceedings in No.E(NG)/11/2002/RC5/4 dated 19.04.2006 decided that in past cases where recruitment are already in process or where any commitment has been given to provide employment by the competent authority, such recruitment process should be finalized and employment provided in Group-"D" posts only to eligible persons. In view of the above, the relief sought for by the petitioners in the present Miscellaneous Petitions cannot be considered at this stage. Accordingly, these Miscellaneous Petitions are dismissed.
Registry is directed to post the writ petitions for final disposal in the 2nd week of March'2020.
