10. Thus, according to the respondents, ratio of 50:50 has to be applied to the vacancies irrespective of the fact whether retired person belongs to seniority quota or LDCE quota. According to us, the stand taken by the respondents is inconformity with the law laid down by the Apex Court in State of Punjab & others v. Dr. R.N. Bhatnagar & another, (1999) 2 SCC 330. In this case, the Apex Court has held that where recruitment rules provide for filling up vacancies in cadre from two sources, roster provided in the rule should be followed every time the vacancies arise and the reference made to the post in the recruitment rules was referred to vacancies and not to the total posts in the cadre.
