...Petitioner

versus State of Haryana and others

...Respondents

CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN MONGA

Present:

Mr. B.S.Patwalia, 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 mandamus directing the respondents to fill up the post of Reader in Kaya Chikitsa (Medicine) as per rule 9 of the "Haryana Ayurvedic Education (Group A &B) Service Rules, 1999.

2.

Petition was filed in the year 2000 and has been lying admitted ever since. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that though his 'power of attorney' is not on record but he is appearing after seeing the cause list of the regular matters. On a Court query, learned counsel fairly concedes that he does not have instructions and even his attempts to establish contact with the petitioner have been futile.

3.

It seems that by sheer effluxion of time and pendency of the writ petition for more than 21 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.
