Allahabad. The petitioner belongs to Scheduled Caste category. He made an application and was called for counselling. He was declared unsuccessful. Later, it was found that a large number of vacancies under Scheduled Tribes category are still lying vacant.

It is stated that the said interim order was not extended.
