COMMON ORDER
The Writ Petitions have been filed challenging the notification dated 28.12.2015 with a consequential direction to allow the petitioners to directly participate in viva-voce proceedings without insisting the petitioners to write written examination in connection with such selection process.
2. The petitioners are trained apprentices. The claim of the petitioners cannot be entertained, since the recruitment procedures are common to all including apprentice. The only preference that has been granted to apprentices is that if marks are equal, the apprentices would be granted preference and not otherwise. Hence, this Court is not inclined to entertain this writ petition. Moreover, the petitioner had challenged the recruitment process which was conducted in the year 2015. Due to efflux of time, the Writ Petitions cannot be entertained.
