3. On perusal of the available order-sheets of the leaned Tribunal, it is indicated that notices were issued by the learned Tribunal on 17.06.2015. The matter was never taken up/pursued after 22.01.2016 nor there is any further pleadings by any of the parties.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has no up-to-date instructions from the petitioner to pursue the matter at present.

5. Learned Standing Counsel referring to the pleadings in the Original Application as well as annexures, submits that considering the nature of grievance, i.e., is non-inclusion of the name of the petitioner in the merit list (provisional) for the post of Classical Teacher in the year 2015, nothing would survive for adjudication at present.
