2. The learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner submitted that the process of selection for appointment to the post of Assessor (Grade-II) was not conducted transparently and the established principles for selection were not scrupulously followed by the respondents.

3. This Court cannot adjudicate these broad grounds at this length of time, in view of the fact that the selected candidates were appointed during the year 2014 and they are working as Assessors (Grade-II) for the past more than five years. This apart, the writ petitioner has not neither impleaded the appointed candidates as party respondents nor challenged the appointment orders issued in their favour in the present writ petition.

4. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(AD-II) // True Copy // Sub Assistant Registrar(CS) krk To:
