Special Civil Application No. 4142 of 1987 (MR PB MAJMUDAR) for Petitioner No. 1 .......... for Respondent No. 1-2 -------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE B.J.SHETHNA and HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SHARAD D.DAVE Date of decision: 04/12/2004 ORAL JUDGEMENT (Per : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE B.J.SHETHNA) Nayna Somgiri Goswami, being minor, had filed this petition way back in 1987 through her guardian and father Shri Somgiri Umedgiri Goswami praying that she was entitled to get admission for PTC course in Gujarat and accordingly suitable directions be issued. Initially, simple order of notice was ordered to be issued by the Division Bench of this court way back on 24.08.1987 and later on rule was issued on 25.09.1987 and the matter was ordered to be expedited. However, due to one or the other reason, matter could not be heard and finally disposed of till today. In between, her learned counsel had been elevated. Therefore, notice was ordered to be issued to the petitioner for making alternative arrangement by the office. But, there is no response to it. Considering the prayer made in the petition, we are of the opinion that after a period of more than 17 years, this petition has become almost infructuous as no relief can now be granted to the petitioner today. Therefore, without going into the merits of the case and without considering the legality and validity of Rule 6 of Gujarat Educational Institutions (pre-primary and primary Teachers Training College) Rules, 1984, this petition is dismissed. Rule discharged. No costs. ( B.J.SHETHNA, J ) ( SHARAD D DAVE, J ) srilatha
