In the light of the submission made by the learned standing counsel, the respondents are hereby directed to consider the applications of the petitioners for appointment to the post of conductors on contract basis and permit them to appear for the interviews being conducted, in accordance with the relevant Rules which are in force. 4. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of.
