It is submitted that the said person has since left the post and hence the post is lying vacant. If that be so, and in case there is no other contender who could legitimately replace the petitioner, it is only appropriate that the petitioner is engaged in the interest of the students. There will be a direction to the third respondent to take appropriate action in the light of the observations made hereinabove. The needful shall be done within a week from the date of 2 production of a copy of this judgment alongwith a copy of the Writ Petition. The Writ Petition is disposed of, so also the pending application. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice March 9, 2010 (Justice R.B. Misra), (rks) Judge.
