The promotion of the petitioner to the post of Head Clerk was challenged by respondent No.3 by filing an appeal before the Gujarat Civil Services Tribunal. The appeal was allowed. It is ordered that in the cadre of Senior Clerk, the respondent No.3 be considered senior to the petitioner and accordingly consequential benefits be given. This Court has passed an order maintaining status-quo by way of interim relief. The counsel for respondent had made a statement before this Court that the petitioner has already been promoted to the next higher post of Assistant Director, whereas the respondent No.3 is still continued on the lower post and as such, this writ petition has become infructuous. Order accordingly. The writ petition is dismissed as having become infructuous. Rule is discharged. Ad-interim relief granted by this Court stands vacated. .......... (sunil)
