They claim promotion to the post of Block Development Officer. Seeking the said relief, they filed Ext.P2 representation before the Government. As per the direction of this Court, the Government considered the representation and rejected it, by Ext.P3 order dated 8.7.2005. The Government found that the petitioners do not possess the qualifications prescribed for the post of Block Development Officer, as per the Special Rules. This Writ Petition is filed, challenging Ext.P3. 2. In the grounds raised in the writ petition, I do not find that the petitioners have pleaded that they have the qualifications prescribed as per the Special Rules. Therefore, there is no merit in this writ petition. Accordingly, it is dismissed. 28th May, 2007. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. Nm/
