WP(C) 2584/2009 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY The petitioners challenge the selection of candidates for the Post of Principals of the Provincialised Colleges of Assam initiated under the Assam Education Dep artment Selection Rules, 1981. However Mr. A D Choudhury, the learned standing c ounsel, Education Department submits that in pursuant to the direction given by this Court, the Government repealed the Assam Education Department Selection Rul es, 1981 through the Notification dated 15.11.2010 and by the subsequent Notific ation of 20.11.2010, the State Selection Board constituted under the repealed Ru les was abolished. 2. Accordingly Mr. Choudhury submits that the impugned selection process fo r filing up the Posts of Principal have since been abandoned and fresh selection will now take place under the Assam College Employees (Provincialisation) Rules , 2010. The copies of the relevant Notification(s) dated 15.11.2010 and 20.11.20 10 are produced by the learned standing counsel. 3. Considering the submissions of the learned standing counsel and after he aring Mr. Y S Mannan, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, I feel that since the impugned selection process has been abandoned by the respondents, nothing survives to be adjudicated in the present matter. Accordingly the case is ordered to be closed. However the petitioners shall be at liberty, to re-appr oach the Court, if any cause of action arise in the fresh selection process. 4. Copies of the Notification(s) produced by the learned standing counsel, shall be kept in the case record.
