By this petition, the petitioner has challenged the order passed by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal (for short, "the Tribunal"), rejecting the Original Application of the petitioner. By the impugned order, the Tribunal has directed that if the post held by each of the applicants before the judgment is to be filled in by giving an appointment to an ad hoc appointee, then the same must be given to the 2 present petitioner. Therefore, there is no threat to the appointment and continuance of the petitioner till a candidate duly selected by the Maharashtra Public Service Commission is appointed. The order further protects the petitioner in relation to her age relaxation. It also permits the State to keep the posts vacant. Consequently, no interference is called for. Petition is dismissed. Rule is discharged.
