Applicants V/s Mrs. Ujwala Laxman Satkar & Ors .. Respondents Mr. G.H.Keluskar for the Applicants.. Mr.N.A.Kulkarni for Respondent No.4. Mrs.S.S.Bhende, AGP for State. CORAM : P.B.MAJMUDAR & R.G.KETKAR, JJ. DATE : 16TH APRIL, 2010 P.C. : 1. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. This is the civil application for fixing the petition for early hearing. Considering the fact that by virtue of interim order the petitioners are continued in service, the petition is required to be heard at the earliest. In our view the petition can be disposed of at this stage itself. However, the learned counsel for the Respondents in the petition wants to take instructions as to whether the writ petitioners can be continued till the regular selected candidates are available, and if they apply on the basis of advertisement, as to whether their cases can be considered in accordance with law and as per the recruitment rules, if any. Petition is therefore fixed for final hearing on 23rd April, 2010. Civil Application stands disposed of. 2. We may clarify that the order of status quo granted by the Court should not mean that the department cannot proceed with the concerned 2 employees for any alleged mis-conduct in accordance with law.
