interim stay against termination, the petitioner has filed the instant writ petition.
2. One of the ground taken by the respondents to oppose the prayer is that there are a few candidates higher in merit than the petitioner who are still waiting appointment.
3. We are not sure as to how many actual vacancies are there and how many candidates higher in merit are willing for appointment. We thus deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a request to the learned Tribunal to call for the records with reference to these two aspects of the matter and decide the petitioner's claim on merits as early as possible and preferably within four weeks.
4. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, also stand disposed of.
