AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) 1. This civil writ petition has been filed under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India, praying for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari, quashing Order dated 26.2.2010 (Annexure P-2) issued by respondent No.2 i.e. Director, Health & Family Welfare, Punjab, to the extent that for the purposes of promotion of Multipurpose Health Worker (Male) to the post of Multipurpose Health Supervisor (Male), recommendations have been sought. CWP No.5448 of 2010 [2] 2. In the contention of learned counsel for the petitioners, the seniority list inter-se Multipurpose Health Workers (Male) is still tentative. Objections have been invited and the seniority list has not been finalised. Unless the seniority list is finalised, promotion(s) effected by the respondents would be illegal as it would be dehors the seniority. 3. Learned counsel for the respondent- State, on instructions from Rajesh Kumar, Senior Assistant, Office of Director Health & Family Welfare, states that the respondents would effect promotion(s) only after finalisation of seniority list and not before. 4. In view of the statement made on behalf of the respondent-State, cause of action does not survive any more and the petition is disposed of as having been rendered infructuous. (AJAI LAMBA) August 26, 2010 JUDGE avin 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
