She would submit that there are about 10718 vacancies, which are sought to be filled up under the said notification including the backlog vacancies. It is the contention that the procedure for filling up the vacancies had not been properly followed and the BC (M) candidates, who were appointed under the General Turn have shown to have been filled up under BC(M) category and not on their own merit thereby denying various BC(M) candidates to be filled up under the BC(M) category. She would further submit that the second respondent had not followed the ratio laid down by this Court in the judgment in the case of K.R.Shanti vs. Secretary to Govt., Education Department, Chennai & Anr., reported in 2012 (7) MLJ 241 , while filling up the vacancies. She would submit that the well settled law laid down by this Court in the manner of filling up vacancies had not been followed, particularly the meritorious candidates, who had applied claiming reservation and appointed under the open quota should not be adjusted against the reserved quota under the verti cal reservation. She would vehemently contend that this had not been fol lowed by the second respondent and had adjusted the BC(M) candidates ap pointed on their own merits in the open category against the reserved post Page No.3/15
