Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE Mr. JUSTICE K.KANNAN Present : Ms. Jeushanjali Sharma, Advocate for Mr.Rajiv Atma Ram, Sr. Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.C. Sibal, Sr. Advocate with Mr. V.S. Rana, Advocate for respondents No. 1 & 2. None for respondent No.3. **** K.KANNAN, J. (ORAL) 1. The learned counsel for the petitioner seeks time, I decline the prayer for adjournment and I proceed to dispose of the case on the basis of records. 2. The petitioner was appointed as a Research Assistant in June, 1977 in the Department of Geography. Later on, it appears that he was appointed as a Lecturer in Geography on temporary basis vide orders dated 14.3.1988. The petitioner was aggrieved by the respondent's act of issuing an advertisement for two posts of Lecturer in Geography and apprehending that he would be vacated Civil Writ Petition No. 1228 of 1990 -2- from his post without considering his claim for being regularized, the petitioner filed a civil writ petition restraining the department from termination of the petitioner from service. From the record, I find that the order of stay had been passed by this Court on 8.3.1990. I find that there was also a direction that the regular posts be not filled during the pendency of this writ petition, and the services of the petitioner be not terminated. The case was set down for final hearing on 9.4.1990, but the case stood adjourned on several hearing. 3. I am unable to secure the present status of the petitioner / employee. If he has been regularized in the process and he had been continued in service, no further direction would be required. If, on the other hand, the fresh recruitment had taken place the issue of regularization does not arise. In either way there arises no case for consideration. 4. Writ petition is disposed of as having become infructuous. 25.3.2011 (K.KANNAN) 'sp' JUDGE
