It is further stated that as 50%vacancies available for the Junior Lineman Cadre were already filled up,the petitioners could not be appointed and a detailed order was passedto that effect on 05.11.1998.
Neither a reply affidavit is filed controverting the avermentscontained in the counter-affidavit nor the learned counsel for thepetitioners is present to point out any illegality in order, dated05.11.1998 passed by the respondents.
