ORDER

17.02.2022 01.

This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

RJ The writ petition has been registered before this Court on 29th November, 2021, after the original application was transferred from the learned Odisha Administrative Tribunal upon its abolition.

On perusal of the order sheets of the learned Tribunal, it is found that the matter was never taken up after 22.01.2015. The applicant before the Tribunal was 35 years of age, when the original application was filed in the year 2012 praying for enhancement of minimum age for applying to the post of Lecturer/Asst. Professor in different disciplines of Government Ayurved Medical Colleges.

It is submitted by the learned Standing Counsel that after almost 10 years, the applicant/petitioner would be about 45 years and accordingly prayer made in the original application has been rendered infructuous.

In view of the above, the writ petition is dismissed having become infructuous.
