At the hearing, there is no representation for the petitioners. It is the grievance of the petitioners that despite being interviewed on 03.09.2001 for the post of Lower Division Clerk/Typist, they were not appointed in the post for which they were interviewed. Sri P.R.Balarami Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents submitted that since the petitioners did not have the requisite qualification of graduation with typewriting (Lower grade) English, as on the date of the interview, they were not selected. At the hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioners is not present to point out any illegality in the stand taken by the respondents. In view of the same, the writ petition fails and is accordingly, dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, order, dated 24.10.2002 is vacated and WPMP.No.26357 of 2002 is dismissed. WPMP.No.2694 of 2002 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 6th FEBRUARY, 2009. kvni
