Patna High Court LPA No.1737 of 2015(14) dt.23-01-2019 2/3 23-01-2019 Heard Mr. Ranjan Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the appellants, Mr Kinker Kumar, SC-9 for the State and Mr. Sanjay Pandey, learned counsel for the Bihar Public Service Commission.
The writ petition was dismissed by the judgment and order dated 20.04.2015. The writ petition was filed questioning the very advertisement published for appointment of Principal in Government Polytechnic/Government Women Polytechnic bearing no. 2 of 2015 dated 05.02.2015. The appellants-petitioners were aggrieved by the stipulations present therein to move this Court through the writ petition which has been dismissed.
Before this Court, it is informed that the selection process is over and thus challenge to the advertisement has become academic. While the appellants questioned the stipulation in the advertisement, Counsel for the State and Commission would submit that it is in tune with the Rules prescribed for appointment against the post of Principal. In such view of the matter, and since it is an admitted position that the selection process is over, we are not persuaded to examine the issue at this stage but would keep the issue open
Patna High Court LPA No.1737 of 2015(14) dt.23-01-2019 3/3 for contest in an appropriate matter.
The appeal is disposed of.
