Mulakh Raj v. State Of Haryana And ANR.

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT

CHANDIGARH CWP-19847-2002 Date of decision: 19.12.2022 Mulakh Raj ....Petitioner Vs.

State of Haryana and another

...Respondents

CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN MONGA Present: Ms. Urvashi, Advocate for Mr. Vivek Singla, 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 for creation of promotional channel for the post of Automobile Engineer and consider the case of the petitioner for the said promotional post.

2.

Petition was admitted for hearing on 13.12.2002. 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 20 years before this Court, either it has been rendered infructuous or else 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.
