conditions stipulated in the said notice/bulletin are arbitrary and issued with mala fide intentions. He further submits that the final schedule was published hastily, which casts aspersions on the conduct of respondent no.2. 6. Finally, he contends that some individuals who are in alleged contravention of the same bye-laws were not barred and that the petitioner herein was singled out. 7. When questioned on the maintainability of the instant writ petition, the learned Senior Counsel, while taking this Court through the Central Civil Services (Recognition of Service Associates), Rules 1993 [Rules of 1993] , more specifically, notification dated 05.11.1993, submits that the Rules have been framed in exercise of the powers conferred by the proviso to Article 309 and Clause (5) of Article 148 of the Constitution of India. 8. He submits that the respondent herein is an association of Government servants and that respondent no.1-service association is recognised by the Government under the said notification. He categorises the nature of the duties discharged by respondent no.1 to be of public character. Learned Senior Counsel has emphasized on Rule (4), 5(b), 6(f) and 10, seeking to indicate that under the aforesaid provisions, the Government has pervasive control over the functioning of respondent no.1 and further submits that under the said rules, in case there are any disputes with respect to the provisions of these rules or fulfilment of conditions for recognition, such disputes shall be referred to the Government.
