(1.) WHEN the W. P. C. T. No. 337 of 2011 is taken up for hearing, it is suggested that W. P. C. T. No. 338 of 2011 is to be taken up for analogous hearing as similar questions of law and facts are involved in these two matters.

(2.) THEREFORE, by consent of the respective parties and at their suggestion, we take up both the applications together for consideration.

The selected persons were permitted to join in their promotion posts.

(3.) ADMITTEDLY, in both the original applications, there was neither any averment explaining the delay nor any application for condonation of delay was filed in connection with the said original applications.
