The Tribunal having considered the plea of the respondents that the appointment was made specifically on an ad-hoc basis in view of the rules for the post being under process and consideration by the Government, and also in view of the undertaking obtained from the petitioner and other similarly situated persons, duly sensitizing them that they would not be considered for regular appointment, declined grant of interim order.
