The second respondent has issued proceedings dated 6-9-1999, after considering the cases of the petitioners. The petitioners claims for appointment have been rejected on the ground that they do not possess the relevant technical qualifications prescribed under the service regulations for appointment of any of the posts of JLM/Typist/LD Clerk/Sub Engineer. The only plea in the writ petition is that they are continuing as casual labourers for the last so many years and therefore, they ought to have been employed on a regular basis. No legal pleas are asserted for invalidation of the rejection orders issued by second respondent dated 6-9-1999. There are no merits in the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs.
