WPSS No.1 of 2006 Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala, J. Mr. Lok Pal Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. N.P. Sah, Standing Counsel for the respondents. Office report indicates that respondent No.3 has been served. Inspite of time being granted to respondents, they have not filed a counter affidavit. Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of. The petitioner was initially appointed as Class-IV employee in the year 1979 and was promoted in the year 1997 in Provincial Co- operative Federation. The impugned order has been passed on 22/12/2005 by respondent No.3 directing the petitioner to join on the post of Assistant/Clerk at Ghansali on deputation in the District Co-operative Bank Ltd., Tehri, District Tehri Garhwal. This order was limited for a period of one year. The court finds that this order was stayed by an interim order dated 4th January, 2006. The said period in the impugned order has now expired. Consequently, no useful purpose would be served in keeping the matter pending. Since no counter affidavit has been filed, the impugned order is quashed. The writ petition is allowed. It would be open to the respondents to pass a fresh order in accordance with law. (Tarun Agarwala, J.) Dated 08.02.2010 Shiv
