State of Haryana and Another

...Respondents

CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN MONGA

Present:

Mr. Amrindra Pratap Singh, Advocate for Mr. Gurnam Singh, Advocate for the petitioner.

Mr. R.D. Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Haryana. ***** ARUN MONGA, J. (ORAL) Petition was filed in the year 1999, inter alia, for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari to quash order dated 14.06.1999 (Annexure P-9) whereby claim of the petitioner to consider his adhoc service towards fixation of seniority in the cadre of Junior Analysts was rejected.

2.

Petition has been lying admitted since 30.04.2002. When called out for hearing, learned counsel is unable to assist the Court for lack of instructions. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner states that despite attempts, his office could not contact the petitioner.

3.

It seems that by sheer effluxion of time and pendency of the writ petition for more than 22 years before this Court, it has been rendered infructuous and/or the petitioner seems to have lost interest in pursuing the same. 4.

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

5.

Since the main case has been decided, pending civil miscellaneous application, if any, also stands disposed of. (ARUN MONGA) JUDGE May 19, 2022 ashish Whether speaking/reasoned:
