The issue relating to appointment on the post of Drug Inspector, in view of the advertisement no. 28 of 1997 having already been completed by way of appointment of the eligible persons, no useful purpose now will be served by going into the aspects raised by the petitioner taking into account that a period of 21 years have since elapsed from the commencement and completion of the selection process on the post of Drug Inspector. That being so, this application has become infructuous and is, accordingly, dismissed. RANJAN KUMAR/- (Mihir Kumar Jha, J)
