The petitioner contends that after conducting the interviews, the selection list was forwarded by the management of the third respondent duly recommended by the second respondent to the first respondent for approval on the same day. The grievance of the petitioner is that though the Selection Committee recommended the names of the selected candidates, the first respondent is not passing any orders on the letter for approval. The petitioner therefore approached this Court through this writ petition seeking a direction to the first respondent to pass appropriate orders on the letter submitted by the management of the third respondent for approval of the selected candidates. Having regard to the facts and circumstances mentioned above, the first respondent is directed to look into the recommendation said to be made by the third respondent and, if it is in order, pass appropriate orders, and if such recommendation is not in order, to make such endorsement to furnish any further information required and dispose of the said proposal within four weeks from the date of receipt of this order according to the rules. The writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. ____________________ (Dr.G.
