IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.9027 of 2010 Shalinder Bhardwaj Vs. State of Haryana & others Present: Mr.Hari Om Attri, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms.Shruti Jain, AAG, Haryana, for the State. Mr.Balram Gupta, Senior Advocate with Mr.Manik Bakshi, Advocate, for respondent Nos.2 & 3. Mr.Ram Lal Gupta, Advocate, for respondent No.4. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner has approached this court through the present writ petition seeking direction for respondent Nos.1 to 3 to call him for interview for the post of Professor in the subject of Dravaya Guna in the M.S.M. Institute of Ayurveda. During the pendency of the writ petition, the selection has been made and Mahesh Kumar Dadhich (respondent No.4) has been selected. Some other petitioners have challenged the selection of respondent No.4 through a separate writ petition No.11707 of 2010. In view of the selection having been made, which the petitioner has not chosen to challenge, the present writ petition apparently is rendered infructuous and is disposed of as such. At this stage, counsel for the petitioner points out that as per the directions issued by this court on 17.5.2010, the petitioner has deposited a sum of ` 10,000/-. Since the petitioner has been considered eligible but has not been able to make the grade on merits, the counsel prays for refund of this amount. I find it fair to direct refund of this amount to the petitioner. Let the petitioner move an application in this regard before the Registrar (General), who shall refund this amount to the petitioner.
