2. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the second respondent submits that the writ petition has become infructuous. On the said submission, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, on the last hearing date i.e., 17.09.2025, sought further time to get instructions. Only on the request made by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, the matter was adjourned for hearing today. Once again, an adjournment has been sought for by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. The learned Standing Counsel further submits that the Recruitment Notification which is the subject matter of challenge, pertains to the year 2018-2019. The selection process has been completed and appointment orders have already been issued in favour of the successful candidates.
He further submits that subsequent to the said Notification, which is the subject matter in this writ petition, another Notification was also issued in the year 2022-2023, and in terms of the said Notification, the vacancies were filled up and appointment orders were also issued. Therefore, it is made clear that the prayer sought for in this writ petition has now become infructuous and further, at this belated stage, this Court cannot entertain this writ petition.
