They now apprehend that the Special Rules would be amended as proposed under Ext.P9, which according to them, will change the basis of the Rules that have been upheld by the Full Bench and also by the Supreme Court. The Government may be entitled to amend the Rules. But it is only appropriate that the objections raised under Exts.

Other contentions of the petitioners are left open. Writ petition is disposed of as above. (V.GIRI,JUDGE) ma
