...Respondents

CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN MONGA

Present:

None for the petitioner.

Mr. R.K.S. Brar, Additional A.G., Haryana.

*** ARUN MONGA, J. (ORAL) Petitioner herein seeks issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent to grant him promotion as HAS-II officer with effect from 26.09.1972 by modifying the order dated 14.12.1991 (P-2), and to consider him for promotion to the post of HAS-I with effect from 1982, by taking into account his ad hoc service rendered against the post of HAS-II officer, when the employees junior to him were considered and promoted as such by modification of the order dated 30.01.1996 (Annexure P-5). Further prayer has been made to grant selection grade (HAS-II) with effect from the date when Shri K.L. Sehgal, an employee, junior to him was granted as such by modification of the order dated 14.02.1996 (Annexure P-6).

Petition was admitted on 20.07.1998.

When called out for hearing, there is no representation on behalf of the petitioner. It seems that by sheer effluxion of time and pendency of the writ petition for more than 24 years before this Court, either it has been rendered infructuous or even otherwise the petitioner seems to have lost interest in pursuing the same.

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.
