J U D G M E N T KURIAN, J.

CIVIL APPEAL  NO(S). 2386-2388/2011 1. The issue raised in these appeals relates to the selection  of  Horticulture  Development  Officers  in Agricultural  Production  and  Rural  Development Department.  The initial notification for selection was issued in the year 1997.  After the litigations, it appears, the candidates have been appointed in the year  2006,  pursuant  to  the  orders  passed  by  the Division Bench of the High Court.

2. Even  otherwise,  having  gone  through  the  order passed by the High Court we do not find it difficult to take a different view.  All the writ petitioners had participated in the screening test.  It is also a fact that all the affected parties were not before the learned Single Judge and finally the High Court has noted that the Public Service Commission has not compromised the merit while making the selection. 3. In that view of the matter, we do not find any merit in these appeals and the same are, accordingly, dismissed. 4. Pending  applications,  if  any,  shall  stand disposed of. 5. There shall be no orders as to costs.
