The learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents, submits that instructions have been received to the effect that the service of the petitioner was terminated on 1.8.2008 on the expiry of the term for which she was appointed and that a substitute has also W.P.(C).24205/2008 2 taken charge in her place. In that view of the matter, no relief can be granted to the petitioner. The writ petition accordingly fails and it is dismissed. P.N.RAVINDRAN, Judge mrcs
