This Writ Appeal is filed against the judgment of the learned Single Judge declining to interfere with the rank list prepared by the PSC for appointment to the post of Lecturer in Sociology for the reason that the rank list was challenged after a long delay of 15 months. Even though the Writ Appeal was admitted, no interim order of stay was granted by this Court. Learned Standing Counsel for the PSC submitted that appointments were made from the list and the list is no longer valid as of now. In the circumstances, the Writ Appeal has become infructuous and is accordingly closed. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE) (K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE) jg
