It is contended that since that vacancy of Conservator of Forests at Lucknow in the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India was not published in the manner provided in Para-8.1.1 of Office Memorandum containing procedure for filling up any vacancy in Ministry, therefore Review-Applicant could not apply, though he was holding a lower post and eligible to apply for the aforesaid post, and respondent-2 was appointed without giving opportunity to Review-Applicant and others also, hence appointment of Respondent-2 was made in violation of principle of equal opportunity of employment enshrined under Article 16 of Constitution of India and for all times to come, Review-Applicant has lost opportunity to apply for the same. In case vacancy would have been notified, applicant would have applied.
