Written statement filed on behalf of respondent No.2 today in court is taken on record. The petitioners had filed this writ petition with a prayer that the age for consideration for the appointment of Additional District & Sessions Judge fixed at 45 years be relaxed in their case on the ground that the post could not be advertised for number of years and as such the petitioners deserve to be considered by relaxing the maximum age as prescribed. In support, they had made reference to some of the cases where similar consideration was shown to the persons identically placed. The advertisement for the appointment was issued in the year 2007. The appointments have since been made. At this stage, the relief claimed in the petition is Civil Writ Petition No.4772 of 2008 : 2 : rendered infructuous. The counsel for the petitioners submits that their case deserves to be considered for relaxing the age as and when some advertisement is issued for such an appointment in future. The petitioners would be at liberty to make any such prayer if and when any advertisement is issued in future. The present writ petition is dismissed as having become infructuous.
