What remains is to get approval of the Government and to publish the select list. In the above circumstances, the writ petitions are disposed of with a direction to the respondents to complete the process of getting the select list approved by the Government and publish the same within a period of three weeks. Promotions also shall be made from the select within a reasonable time. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
