(Oral) Through the instant writ petition, the petitioners have assailed the order dated 11.05.2006, whereby the petitioners were allocated to the successor State of Uttarakhand. After the order dated 11.05.2006, we are told, that the final allocation order has also been issued by the Central Government on 31.07.2008. It is further pointed out that in the aforestated final allocation order, the Central Government has also enclosed a final allocation list (also dated 31.07.2008). Consequent upon the issuance of the final allocation order, as also the final allocation list for the State of Uttarakhand on 31.07.2008, the instant writ petition assailing the earlier order dated 11.05.2006 has been rendered infructuous. The instant writ petition is, accordingly disposed of as having been rendered infructuous. 2 Liberty is, however, granted to the petitioners to assail the final allocation order, as also the final allocation list (both dated 31.07.2008), if the petitioners are so advised in accordance with law. The instant writ petition stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms. ( Tarun Agarwala, J.) ( J.S. Khehar, C.J.) 16.12.2009 P.Singh
