1Opinion of the Court
Harshbarger, Justice:
Thirteen applicants were selected by the Police Civil Service Commission for the City of Charleston for final appointment to the Charleston Police Department and were to be sworn in November 4, 1974. But on November 1 the Fraternal Order of Police petitioned for an injunction against their induction. A temporary injunction was issued but then, after hearings, permanent injunction was refused by the Kanawha County Circuit Court.
The Fraternal Order of Police appealed, contending as it did in the trial court, that the applicants did not comply with W.Va. Code, 8-14-12.1
