However, in view of the discussion made hereinabove, the Opposite Party No.2/ DMET to redraw the merit list of the selected SRs by excluding the petitioners and publish the result within three days from receipt of the copy of this order. Accordingly, the earlier order dated 05.04.2022 passed in I.A. No.4168 of 2022 arising out of W.P.(C) No.8065 of 2022, order dated 07.04.2022 passed in I.A.
