I am of the opinion that as the applicants did not seek appointment to the post of Archivist, 1st Grade, at the House of Representatives they cannot validly contend that a legitimate interest of theirs,

.2 of the Constitution, by the subsequent emplacement of the interested party in the post of Clerk, 1st Grade, be cause none of the applicants applied for appointment to the post of Archivist, 1st Grade, at the House of Repre- 35 sentatives which became later, by operation of Law 20/81, a post of Clerk, 1st Grade, in which the interested party 1420 3 C.L.R. Tsountas and Others v. Republic Trtantafyllides P. was emplaced not instead of any one of the applicants and, in any event, independently of any claim of any one of them to be promoted. 5 In the light of all the foregoing I am of the view that the applicants were not entitled under Article 146 of the Constitution to file the present recourse, which is dismissed accordingly; but with no order as regards its costs. Recourse dismissed. No order as to costs. 1421
