Para 10 of the reply filed by respondent-Bank is worth to be quoted: “10. That the contents of paras No.10 to 13 of the writ petition are not relevant so far as the controversy involved in the present case is concerned. It is relevant to mention here that after the redetermination of the staffing pattern vide Notification Annexure/3 dated 23.2.1995, the staffing pattern was again re- determined vide Notification Annexure R.3/1 dated 18.6.1997 and thus, the Notification Annexure/3 has become irrelevant to the controversy involved in the instant case. It is further relevant to mention here that in pursuance of the Notification Annexure R.3/1 dated 18.6.1997, the DPC was held and on the basis of the recommendations made by the DPC, selections and promotions were made. The copies of the orders passed on the basis of the recommendations of the DPC dated 20.10.1997, 20.10.1997, 27.10.1997, 19.7.1997, 10.11.1997, 10.11.1997 and 21.7.1997 are submitted herewith and marked as Annexures R.3/2 to R.3/8. Thus, it is clear that in pursuance of the revised staffing pattern fixed vide Notification Annexure R.3/1 dated 18.6.1997, the meetings of the DPC were already convened and their results have also been declared. Thus, in this view of the matter and specially in view of the above changed circumstances, the contentions made in paras No.10 to 13 of the writ petition are irrelevant to decide the controversy involved in the instant case.” In view of averments made in para 10 of the reply, relief claimed by the petitioners in this petition for writ has become infructuous and as such, no further adjudication is required. Accordingly, this petition for writ is dismissed. However, it is open for the petitioners to challenge re-determination of strength of various cadres if they have any grievance. [GOVIND MATHUR],J. mma
