...Petitioner

Versus

State of Haryana and Others

...Respondents

CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN MONGA

Present:

None 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 quashing Memo dated 23.04.1999 (Annexure P-9) issued by respondent No.3, whereby claim of the petitioner for compassionate appointment as Clerk was rejected and seeking direction to respondents to consider case of the petitioner for compassionate appointment under ex-gratia scheme, in terms of Govt. Instructions (Annexures P-2 and P-5) as Clerk and further to regularize services of the petitioner from the date his juniors were regularized along with all consequential benefits.

2.

Petition was admitted on 03.10.2000.

3.

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 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.
