COMMON JUDGMENT [Judgment was delivered by S.M.SUBRAMANIAM, J.] The writ petitioners are the appellant before us. The writ petitions were instituted to sponsor the name of the petitioners by the Employment Exchange for selection and appointment to the post of Computer Instructor.

2. The learned counsel for the 2nd respondent would submit that the writ petitions are rejected through a common order. Mean while the process of selection for the year 2014 had been completed in all respects and selected candidates were appointed as Computer Instructors. The petitioners were not within the zone of consideration and therefore, their cases were not considered.

3. Subsequently, another selection process was conducted in the year 2019 and the said process had also been completed. That being the factum, the issues raised in the writ appeals lost its relevance.

4. Accordingly, the Writ Appeals stand dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed. [S.M.S., J.] [C.K., J.] 11.07.2024 Jeni Index : Yes Speaking order To 1.The Secretary, State of Tamil Nadu, Education Department, Fort St. George, Chennai - 600 009.
