SBCWP NO.6716/2004. 2 3) Learned counsel for the respondents relied on the judgment of the Apex Court dated 30/7/2002 in Kailash Chandra Sharma Vs. State of Rajasthan and others : (2002) 6 SCC 562, wherein, the Apex Court held that only those persons are entitled to appointment who had already approached the court prior to judgment passed by the Full Bench. Since the petitioner did not approach earlier than the date of full bench judgment, he is not entitled to the said benefit. 4) In view of the stand taken by the respondents and the merit position explained and the fact that petitioner did not file writ petition at the time when the Full Bench judgment was delivered, he cannot be granted any relief. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. A.ARORA/-
