Learned counsel for the applicant submits that although a copy of the petition has been duly served to the learned counsel for the respondents, no one has appeared on their behalf. Learned counsel further submits that the applicant has challenged the impugned order dated 08-03-2025, which disregards the merit-based selection process and has unjustly deprived the petitioner of the opportunity she rightfully deserves.
