No.3342 of 2014 etc. read with the order dated 10.02.2015 in Contempt Petition (Civil) No.488 of 2014 in C.A. No.3342 of 2014.

There is no representation for first respondent.

2. The petitioners by the present writ petition sought for issuance of writ of declaration to declare the provisional selection list issued by the first respondent dated 20.03.2015 for the recruitment of Computer Instructors through employment registration state seniority for the year 2014 as arbitrary and ultra vires G.O.Ms.No.65 P & AR Department dated 27.05.2009 and consequently, to direct the first respondent to redraw the selection list by following the seniority in the Employment Exchange after acquiring the B.Ed. Qualification and communal reservation as per the 200 point roster prescribed in G.O.Ms.No.65, P & AR Department, dated 27.05.2009.

3. The primary contention of the petitioners is that the respondents, having invited applications from the employment exchange, did not grant appointment to the petitioners in the area covered by the said Employment Exchange based on the seniority of the Employment Exchange and instead, granted the appointment to the petitioners in different areas.

4. The learned counsel for the respondents 2 to 6 however would submit that the petitioners on being issued appointment orders, having accepted the said appointment orders without any demour and protest and also having joined in the respective places of posting, have been discharging their duties since their date of joining the service ie., from 2015 onwards and have rendered service as of today for more than 11 years.

5. In view of the said submission, since the petitioners, though having laid a challenge to the recruitment, having accepted the appointments made by the first respondent and also having joined the service in the year 2015-2016 and rendering service since then, this Court is of the view that the challenge to the selection list at this point of time cannot be maintained.

6. Accordingly, writ petitions fail and are dismissed. No order as to costs.
