4. Petitioners are the candidates who have responded to the said notification. According to learned counsel for petitioners, the lands of petitioners were acquired for the purpose of establishing power generating station of GENCO, Government issued orders in G O Ms No. 98 dated 15.4.1986 providing for reservation in employment in the units established on the lands acquired from the farmers. In accordance with said Government Order, according to learned counsel for petitioners, petitioners are entitled to be considered for provision of employment. He further submits that since land of petitioners was acquired for power generating stations of GENCO and there is no dispute regarding acquisition of the land for that purpose, there is no justification in referring to clauses in G O Ms No. 98 and making it mandatory to fulfill said clauses before seeking to consider the claims of petitioners for provision of employment against 50 % of the vacancies reserved for land losers/displaced persons. Learned counsel, therefore, submits that such action of respondents is illegal, arbitrary and clause 3 of note appended to the supplementary notification dated 17.10.2011 is liable to be set aside and direction be issued for consideration of the claims of the petitioners for employment without insisting for fulfillment of clauses in G.O.Ms.No. 98 dated 15.4.1986.
