The petitioners are disputing selection of respondents No.6 to 11 for Intermediate School Course which commenced w.e.f. 21.01.2017.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners belong to SC Category, thus, they are entitled to out of turn promotion as per State Policy of 2018. The State has decided to clear backlog from 1995.
