3.

We are informed by learned counsel for respondents that even after the year 2013, regular advertisements have been issued by the respondents for conducting Combined Graduate Level Examinations in the years 2014, 2015 & 2016 and if the petitioner had missed an opportunity of acquiring the status of an Ex-Servicemen (OBC) in the year 2013, he could have easily participated in the examinations conducted in the subsequent years. 4.

In view of the fact that as on date, there are no vacancies available for the subject posts that were to be filled up by conducting the Combined Graduate level Examination, 2013, no useful purpose shall be served by hearing learned counsel for the petitioner on the merits of the case. 5.

The present petition is accordingly disposed of. HIMA KOHLI, J.
