In this situation, you can argue that Sri P. Manoj Sai's achievement was within the time frame specified in G.O.Ms.No.84, even though the GO expired in 2017. Here are some steps you can take:
1. **File a Representation**: Submit a formal representation to the concerned authorities, highlighting that the achievement was within the valid period of the GO and requesting reconsideration of the eligibility for the SI of Police job.
2. **Legal Action**: If the representation is not successful, consider filing a writ petition in the High Court, seeking a directive to the government to honor the eligibility criteria as per the GO in effect at the time of the achievement.
3. **Cite Relevant Cases**: Refer to similar cases where courts have ruled in favor of applicants based on achievements within the valid period of a GO, even if the GO expired later. For example, in the case of [Si Gd Pradeep vs Union Of India & Ors.](https://indiankanoon.org/doc/111876406/), the court considered the eligibility criteria based on the time of achievement.
Consulting a legal expert for personalized advice and assistance in filing the representation or petition is highly recommended.
