THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G. BHAVANI PRASAD W.P.No.3622 of 2002 Date: 05.07.2006 Between: C. Bhaskar, S/o C. Sikhamani and others …. Petitioners And The District Collector, Cuddapah, Cuddapah District and others ….Respondents ORDER: Heard Sri Suman, learned counsel, representing the Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development for the respondents. None appeared for the writ petitioners. The writ petition is primarily designed to have the cases of the petitioners considered for appointment to the post of Village Electrical Workers in Gram Panchayats and calling them for interview without specifying the age limit at less than 25 years. Pending the writ petition, an interim direction was granted by this Court in W.P.M.P.No.4469 of 2002 on 28.02.2002 directing the respondents to consider the cases of the petitioners and permit them to appear for the interview for the post of Village Electrical Workers along with other eligible candidates, without disqualifying them on the ground of over age or on the ground of not being sponsored by the concerned Employment Exchange. The learned counsel submitted that in any view, because of the ban on creation of new posts and also against the direct appointments in the Grampanchayats imposed by the Government, the writ petition, any how, becomes infructuous. As the interim relief already granted obviously is equal to the main relief, nothing further remains for adjudication and in the light of the circumstances mentioned by the learned counsel representing the Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development, this writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. No costs. _________________________ G. BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date: 05.07.2006 Ksn
