The appellant was a person included in the select list published by the Food Corporation of India for appointment to the post of Deputy Manager - General Administration. The said list was cancelled by the Union of India as per Annexure-B document produced along with this writ appeal. Fresh steps were taken for recruitment of candidates to the above said post. In the above background, this writ petition was filed claiming appointment based on his inclusion in the earlier select list published by the Food Corporation of India. The validity of the order of the Union of India cancelling the select list has been upheld by the Apex Court in the decision reported in Food Corporation of India and others v Bhanu lodh and others (AIR 2005 SC 2775). The appellant points out that several contentions raised by him in this appeal were not raised or considered in that decision. But we cannot go into such W.A.588/2007 2 contentions as the validity of the cancellation of the first select list was already upheld by the Honourable Supreme Court in the decision mentioned above. Accordingly, the writ appeal is dismissed. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE P.N.RAVINDRAN, JUDGE css/
