“4. In the wake, learned counsel for the applicants have pressed that the respondents should be directed to allow all the applicants to participate in the interview also, As has been recorded hereinabove, we could entrain the Original Applications only in view of the extra-ordinary situation, i.e., the written examination had been scheduled shortly. In the process of selections, the respondents may have to take different steps and it would not be advisable to issue fresh, interim directions at each of such state. The broad argument put-forth by learned counsel for applicants in the Original Applications is that the respondents could not bring to fore any reason to reject their application forms and nix the admit cards to them.
