THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No.28445 of 1998 OR D E R : This writ petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the respondents in issuing the proceedings, dated 20.04.1998 terminating the services of the contract labour with effect from 01.04.1998 as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently to direct the respondents-Board to absorb the petitioners on permanent basis in their respective sanctioned posts in which they are working with all consequential benefits without reference to the individual letters issued to them rejecting their cases. When the matter is listed today for hearing, the learned standing counsel for the respondents-Board submits that due to lapse of time nothing survives for adjudication in the writ petition and the matter has become infructuous. Recording the above submission, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. JANUARY 4th, 2007. I s L
