WP(C) 5237/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA Mr. B.K. Sarma, learned Standing counsel, Social Welfare Department has produced the letter dated 21.09.2010 addressed to the Commissioner & Secretary t o the Govt. of Assam, Social Welfare Department by the Director, Social Welfare. On perusal of the said letter, it appears that initially there was stay order in respect of the process of selection. Such stay order was passed on 21.12.09 in W.P.(C) No. 5762/09. Thereafter the stay order was vacated by order dated 09.06. 2010. Another writ petition being W.P.(C) No. 4532/2010 pertaining to the same selecti on has been filed and by order dated 13.08.2010, this Court directed to maintain the status quo. Thereafter, the stay order was vacated by order dated 20.08.20 10. While vacating the stay order, it was provided that the selection process be completed and in the event of making any appointment same shall be subject to t he further order to be passed in the writ petition. It is the misconception of the respondents that the leave of the Court is requir ed to be obtained towards finalisation of the selection. No such leave is requir ed to be obtained as the earlier stay order has already been vacated by this Cou rt. Only rider is that the appointments which have to be made pursuant to the se lection will be subject to further order to be passed in the writ petition. Thus , as on date, there is no stay order operating in respect of the said selection. Accordingly, the respondents may proceed with the matter in accordance with law . In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of. The letter dated 21.09.2 010 is kept on record.
