JUDGMENT
(Delivered by The Hon'ble Chief Justice) The only grievance of the appellants is that the learned Single Judge has straightaway issued a direction to approve the appointment of the first respondent petitioner. We do not find this to be a direction, which is to approve the appointment only in accordance with law by passing an appropriate order on merits.

The appeal stands disposed of with a direction to the authorities to pass appropriate orders within a period of three weeks from the date of the presentation of a copy of this order. No costs.
