He submitted his application pursuant to the notification dated 29-05- 1995. Long later, they conducted a skill test in October 2009 and thereafter published Ext.P2 ranked list on 24-12-2009. The petitioner holds rank No.16 in Ext.P2 ranked list. Since the number of vacancies existed in the year 1995 was only five, the Syndicate of the University resolved to confine the appointments from Ext.P2 ranked list only against the vacancies that existed in 1995. The petitioners are aggrieved by the aforesaid decision of the Syndicate. Under similar circumstances, certain other rank holders approached this Court and they filed W.P.(C) Nos.598, 664 and 7495 of 2010. Those writ petitions were heard and disposed of by this Court as per judgment dated 14-06-2010. After considering the rival contentions, this Court issued a direction as follows:- “ In the aforesaid circumstances, the Syndicate of the University will consider the WPC.7805/2010 : 2 : aforesaid situation and take a pragmatic decision. Let this be done at the earliest. Learned counsel for the University will ensure that the matter gains the attention of the Syndicate through the Registrar or the Vice Chancellor within a period of two months from now. All issues on merits are left open. The writ petitions are ordered accordingly. ” 2. As already noticed hereinbefore, the petitioner is similarly situated to those petitioners in the aforesaid writ petitions. Now, in the light of the judgment dated 14-06-2010, the Syndicate of the University is bound to consider and take a decision in the case of the writ petitioners in those writ petitions. Taking note of the fact that the petitioner is also similarly situated to those writ petitioners, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to place the claims of the petitioner as well before the Syndicate of the Mahatma Gandhi University to be considered along with the claims of the petitioners in W.P.(C)Nos.598, 664 and 7495 of 2010.
