Talkute for Petitioner. Mr M.B. Behere for Respondent Nos.3 and 4. CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH AND V.M. KANADE JJ. DATE : 7TH JANUARY 2008. -2- P.C. :- 1. By this petition, the only relief prayed for by the petitioner is a direction to the respondent No.2 to appoint the petitioner as Live Stock Supervisor. According to the petitioner, as per the Service Rules, a degree holder is not entitled to apply but the advertisement published in May 2006 permits degree holders to make application. According to the petitioner therefore, the petitioner, who is a diploma holder, should have been appointed. The advertisement, as observed above, is of May 2006. The present petition has been filed in June 2007. It is common ground that the respondent Nos.3 and 4 have already been appointed. There is no challenge to their appointments in the petition. Even their appointment orders have not been produced. There is no prayer in the petition challenging the advertisement though there are averments in the petition. It is obvious that the challenge to the advertisement issued in May 2006 in the petition filed in June 2007, without there being explanation for latches, cannot be entertained. So far as the challenge to the appointments of respondent Nos.3 and 4 is concerned, there is no prayer for setting aside their appointments. It is abundantly clear that the entire -3- petition is misconceived. It cannot be entertained. Petition is rejected. . Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar / Private Secretary of the Court. . Certified copy expedited. ( D.K. DESHMUKH J.) ( V.M. KANADE J.)
