(d)In pursuance of the said proceedings of the Director, the Chief Educational Officer, Ramanathapuram addressed a letter to the District Employment Officer, Ramanathapuram dated 14.07.2006 requesting him to sponsor a list of candidates for appointment to 117 posts of Secondary Grade Teachers.
(e)At this stage, some complaints appear to have been received by the District Employment Officer, Ramanathapuram that some of the candidates whose names were found in the rolls of the Employment Exchange were employed in Private Schools. Therefore, the District Employment Officer, Ramanathapuram collected information from Private Schools and removed the names of those candidates from the live register of the Employment Exchange. But some of the Private Schools did not furnish correct information. Therefore, the District Employment Officer, Ramanathapuram issued a communication dated -.12.2006 to the District Elementary Educational Officer, Ramanathapuram advising him to give appointments only after ensuring that the candidates were not employed in Private Schools.
(i)When the selection process was nearing completion, in December 2006/ January 2007, some candidates whose names were in the rolls of the District Employment Office, Ramanathapuram came up with a batch of writ petitions. While some of them challenged the validity of the communications of the District Employment Officer, Ramanathapuram seeking to delete the names of the employed candidates from the live register as well as the communication demanding No Objection Certificate from the employers, the others sought a positive direction to delete the names of candidates who were already employed in Private aided Schools from the live register of the Employment Exchange.

31.Mr.S.N.Ravichandran, learned counsel appearing for some of the contesting respondents also contended that the very object of the Act is to provide employment to the unemployed and that such object will be defeated by making it a free for all. Mr.S.N.Ravichandran produced the National Employment Service Manual issued by the Government of India containing the policy of procedure, the collection of market information etc. We have gone through the manual. The manual speaks of the procedure for registration at Employment Exchanges, the preparation of "Index Cards" of various types, preparation and maintenance of live register etc. Inviting our attention to Chapter X, the learned counsel contended that once a person gets employment, his name will have to be transferred from the 'live register' to the 'dead order register'. Paragraph 10.14 and 10.15 relied upon by the learned counsel reads as follows:-

(c)The cancellation of appointments of some of the selected candidates now sought to be made in pursuance of the Judgment of the Division Bench in W.P.No.910 of 2007 dated 05.04.2007 is illegal and hence, such cancellation orders shall be recalled and those persons will have to be reinstated in service.
(d)Persons already in employment in Private aided Schools, whose names were deleted from the live register of the Employment Exchange shall have their names restored in the live registers with the same seniority and the Employment Exchanges are directed to sponsor their names against existing vacancies.
