qualified person who is entitled to participate in the advertisement. Accordingly he participated and still the Corporation for the reasons best known to it is not issuing any appointment order in favour of petitioner as senior auditor.

¶16

The learned Counsel appearing for Corporation submits that petitioner has served the Corporation throughout as a clerk and is claiming to be a Senior Auditor. One of the essential conditions for appointing a person as a Senior Auditor is that he shall serve and has experience as junior auditor. Petitioner does not have that qualification.

¶17

We have considered the submissions. The petitioner cannot insist that he shall be appointed as Senior Auditor in the process undertaken by way of direct appointment. It is not disputed that present subject post of Senior Auditor is not a promotional post.

¶18

It is desirable that Corporation takes effective steps to fill in 3 vacant posts of Senior Auditors lying vacant since last several years. The Corporation shall take appropriate steps to appoint suitable eligible persons to these posts.

¶19

With these observations and directions, writ petitions are disposed of.
