[2] Learned counsel for the appellants argues that respondents' selection should be set aside on the ground that they have dispensed with the written examination. This argument is liable to be rejected as after the advertisement was issued, the appellants participated in the entire selection process without challenging the criteria and as per the criteria, the marks were to be given as per the educational qualification and measurement of height.
Accordingly, we are not inclined to interfere in the impugned judgment passed by the learned Single Judge. The appeal is accordingly dismissed.
