Rajasekhar Reddy Counsel for the Respondents 2 and 3: GP FOR HOME The Court at the admission stage made the following: The Hon’ble Sri Justice K.C. Bhanu W.P. No. 6161 of 2005 O R D E R: The writ petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the respondents herein in deleting the names of the petitioners from the list of selected candidates who are directed to attend the pre- selection training for UNSAT test for selection to UN Police Task Force in Kosovo as illegal and arbitrary and for a consequential direction to send the petitioners for the said pre-selection training to be held from 28.3.2005 to 2.4.2005. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that though the names of the petitioners have been recommended to the Government of India for considering for deployment of U.N. Police Task Force at Kosova, the Government of India seems to have deleted their names for the reasons best known to them. A copy of the proceedings dated 25.2.2005 issued by the Government of India, Ministry of Home Affairs is made available for perusal of this court according to which various batches have been given schedule for training. Asfar as regular police from Andhra Pradesh are concerned, a batch was already commenced from 21.3.2005 to 26.3.2005. Whereas, the petitioners are seeking for inclusion of their names in Batch IV which has to be commenced from 28.3.2005 to 2.4.2005. As seen from these proceedings, the candidates from BSF/CRPF/CBI/CISF/SSB/CBI/BPR&D/Sikkim/Mizoram are to appear for the test. Therefore, the petitioners failed to make out a prima facie case in support of their contention. The writ petition is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed. ________________ K.C. Bhanu, J.
