IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 5196 of 1991 DATE OF DECISION: September 9, 2011 Kuldip Kaur & others .....Petitioners VERSUS State of Haryana and others ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH PRESENT: Ms. Alka Chatrath, Advocate for the petitioners. None for the respondents. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioners have approached this Court in the year 1991 with a prayer to consider them eligible and for sponsoring their names for appointment of Hindi and Punjabi Teachers on the basis of their qualification as Gyani, S.T.C. or O.T. Certificate. The respondent-Government has taken a stand that the rules relied upon by the petitioners, have been amended by issuing instructions. The writ petition was admitted. During the pendency of the writ petition, even the rules have been amended in the year 1995. With the passage of time, claim raised in the writ petition for considering/sponsoring names of the petitioners, obviously, will be rendered infructuous. As the relief as claimed cannot be allowed at this stage, the writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. In case, the names of the petitioners have already been sponsored pursuant to the directions issued by this Court in the year 1991, then the same will not have any effect on the orders passed today.
