She was<\/p>\n<p>appointed as a leave substitute in that vacancy with effect from 17\/08\/2005.<\/p>\n<p>The competent authority declined the grant of approval of appointment of<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner stating that &#8220;there are four Lab Assistants working against the<\/p>\n<p>two posts sanctioned.       The vacancy arose due to the relief\/leave of<\/p>\n<p>supernumerary hands cannot be filled in&#8221;.
