Vijay Singh v. State Of Haryana And ANR.

597 2nd case

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH

CWP-11015-2003 Date of decision: 15.12.2022 Dr. Vijay Singh ....Petitioner Vs.

State of Haryana and another

...Respondents

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN MONGA

Present:

Mr. J.S.Maanipur, Advocate, For the petitioner.

Mr. R.D.Sharma, DAG, Haryana.

*** ARUN MONGA, J. (ORAL) Petition herein, inter alia, is for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing impugned order dated 13.03.2003 (Annexure P-7) vide which claim of the petitioner for appointment to the post of Ayurvedic Medical Officer was rejected.

2.

Petition was admitted for hearing on 16.03.2004. 3.

When taken up for final adjudication, learned counsel is unable to assist the Court for lack of instructions. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that despite repeated attempts, his office could not contact the petitioner. In the premise, no useful purpose would be served by issuing fresh notice to the petitioner as the same too would be an exercise in futility.

4.

It seems that by sheer effluxion of time and pendency of the writ petition for more than 19 years before this Court, either it has been rendered infructuous or even otherwise the petitioner seems to have lost interest in pursuing the same. 5.

Be that as it may, writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to file an appropriate application in case any cause of action still survives. 6.

Pending application, if any, shall also stand disposed of. (ARUN MONGA) JUDGE December 15, 2022 Vandana Whether speaking/reasoned:
