This is a service matter and ordinarily no Public Interest Litigation is maintainable in a service matter unless it raises issues of public interest. No such issue is available in the present case rather the issue raised is prima-facie an inter-party contest which is projected as public interest. The petitioner, if so advised, can take recourse to such other forum as available in law.
