Junior Engineer (Civil, Grade-II) became vacant and therefore,
an opportunity of employing persons, who are figured
immediately after the name of selected candidate in the merit
list upon representation, have been given an appointment and
therefore, here also such a situation has arisen where
undisputedly, the petitioners of second group of petitions are
the next candidates immediately after those who are to be
discontinued and therefore, the posts which are falling vacant
on account of that situation, the petitioners of second group of
petitions having found immediately next in the merit list,
deserve to be employed and that has rightly been appreciated
by the learned Single Judge while issuing final direction and
disposing of the group of petitions and therefore, by referring
to these decisions, an assistance is sought for to claim relief
as prayed for in the petitions, which according to us, rightly
have been appreciated by the learned Single Judge and
therefore, we feel no infirmity in the order passed and the
benefit extended to the petitioners of second group of
petitions.
