The applications of the petitioners were received and they were allowed to participate in the selection process. Now the learned counsel for the petitioner states that the name of the petitioners was exhibited showing that the petitioners were selected, but thereafter no appointment orders were given. A detailed counter affidavit is filed on behalf of the respondents admitting that the results of all the candidates including petitioners have already been declared and accordingly selection was finalized basing on the marks secured in the test, under intimation to the eligible candidates. But, it is not asserted in the counter that the petitioners have not come up for selection and the persons those who have got less marks than the petitioners were appointed. The petitioners assert that they have secured higher marks and the persons those who have got less marks were got appointed, whereas the petitioners were not appointed, in view of the pendency of this writ petition. Under those circumstances, the only direction which can be issued by this Court is to direct the respondents to consider the case of the petitioners on the basis of the rank assigned to them in the merit list purported to have been exhibited by them and pass appropriate orders within a period of one month from the date of receipt of this order.
