O R D E R

Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the matter has now become infructuous and nothing survives in this writ petition for further adjudication. However, prays that liberty may be given to claim seniority based on year wise panel from the year 2013 onwards.

2. Though the learned Senior Counsel submits that the representation has already been given but copy of the same has not been produced before this Court, therefore, this Court is not able to give any positive direction. It is always

open to the petitioner to work out the remedy in the manner known to law.

3. In view of the above submission made by the learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner, the writ petition stand dismissed as infructuous. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is also closed. 12.08.2024 (1⁄2) dpq Index : Yes /No Speaking Order : Yes/No N. MALA , J.
