K.S.Radhakrishnan & Antony Dominic, JJ. ======================== W.P(C).No.17348 of 2007 ======================== Dated this the 25th day of June, 2007. JUDGMENT Radhakrishnan,J. Several contentions were urged by the parties before us. We have perused the order of the Tribunal. The Tribunal itself says that in the absence of the Recruitment Rules, it is not possible to get a clear picture. It is also stated in paragraph 6 of the order that both the parties have not produced old or new Recruitment Rules. In such circumstances, we set aside the order of the Tribunal and direct the petitioners to produce old and new Recruitment Rules before the Tribunal and the Tribunal will examine the matter on merits and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. It would be appropriate that the O.A. be disposed of afresh within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. K.S.Radhakrishnan, Judge. Antony Dominic, Judge. ess 25/6
