The petitioners have stated in the writ petition that these show-cause notices were challenged by the medium of a writ petition, however, since the show-cause notices were followed by the disengagement order, therefore, the petitioners filed the instant petition assailing the orders of disengagement. 8. Upon notice, the respondents appeared and filed their reply, resisting the claim of the petitioners. 9. The petitioners have challenged impugned orders inter alia on the ground that the petitioners, being fully eligible, were selected after the operation of the waiting list by the competent authority against the vacancies which remained unfilled due to non-joining of the selected candidates. 10.

Order as also in violation to Chapter XIII of the Policy governing the service of the petitioners. 11. Heard Learned counsel for the parties at length. 12.
