(3.) the appointments of mirza waliulla baig (no. 1) and S. Ramachandra Rao (no. 3) were challenged by Jayarama Reddy (no. 7) in W.P. No. 21108/1983 and by one chikkabasavaiah (who was an unrecommended candidate) in W.P. No. 2472/1984. The challenge was made upon the basis that baig and ramachandra Rao held the post of stenographer and that, therefore, they did not possess the required qualification of experience in an administrative position. As aforementioned, the learned single judge upheld this contention.
