In the matter of regularization of services, he was considered for the post of Junior Plant Attendant. The petitioner happens to be a physically handicapped person. He was not selected on the ground that he does not know cycling.

This exercise shall be completed within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L.
