P.C.:

Heard both sides. The limited reliefclaimed in this Writ Petition is toquash the process of selection ofrespondents 4 to 7 for the post ofSub-Officer pursuant to the Departmentalexamination. Two briefaffidavits-in-reply in Writ PetitionNos. 637 and 638 of 2003 respectivelyhave been filed on behalf of respondentno. 2 by one Dr. P.K.John, Director ofFire and Emergency Services. Theaffidavit clearly records thatrespondents 3 to 7 have been selectedfor departmental upgrading skills andnot to the posts of Sub-Officers as isclaimed in the Writ Petition. Thus, itis not necessary for us to go into anyother question but, to only observe thatthe apprehension expressed by the petitioner that respondents 3 to 7 havebeen selected for the post ofSub-Officer is misplaced.2. There is another prayer claimed inthis Writ Petition for setting aside theCircular, dated 3rd October 2003, atPage 42. Insofar as this Circular isconcerned, it is placed on record onaffidavit that it is only a proposalhaving no efficiency or would not createany right in favour of any employee. Inthat view of the matter no adjudicationis warranted even on this relief. Hencepetition is disposed of.
