His grievance is that though there are certain unfilled seats, the respondent-University is not taking any steps to fill up the seats. Therefore, he filed the present writ petition seeking a direction to the Registrar of N.T.R. University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada, to fill up the vacancies in Sri Venkateswara University local area for the academic year 1999-2000. Though the writ petition was admitted on 2-3-2000, no interim orders are passed by this Court. In that view of the matter, at this point of time, no direction can be given to the respondent University to fill up the vacancies, which allegedly existed during the academic year 1999-2000. The writ petition, therefore, is dismissed as infructuous. No costs. _______________ (V.V.S. RAO, J.) 15-09-2004. Msr. ASSISTANT REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.
