Respondents No.1 to 4 herein have ﬁled the above O.A. seeking direction to the petitioners herein to consider their candidature for the posts of Secretaries Grade-III in Zone-I in Agriculture Market Committee, by way of direct recruitment. The Tribunal after considering the rival contentions and its judgment in O.A.No.701 of 1998 dated 19-1-1998, directed the petitioners to consider the cases of unoﬃcial respondents taking into consideration the proceedings dated 21-3-1999 of the Commissioner and Director of Marketing. 3. It is seen from the impugned order that the Tribunal has merely directed the petitioners to consider the cases of unoﬃcial respondents, taking into consideration the proceedings dated 21-3-1999, which was issued by the Commissioner and Director of Marketing. Thus, it is the discretion of the Government to consider their cases. Having regard to the prayer sought by unoﬃcial respondents and the direction given by the Tribunal, we are not inclined to interfere with the impugned order in exercise of writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 4. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ___________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J. ___________________ C.V.RAMULU, J. 29-07-2008 bsc
