High School, Ahmedabad. The students who have passed Std. 10 with technical subjects were granted some weightage of marks while seeking admissions to the engineering degree courses. That policy came to be modified by the Government Resolution dated 5.5.1999. Contending that the change in policy effected by the said Government Resolution dated 5.5.1999 prejudicially affected the interest of the petitioners' wards, the present petition came to be filed in June, 1999 as the petitioners' wards were seeking admissions to the engineering courses for the academic year 1999-2000. 2. On 10.6.1999 this Court had issued Rule on the petition and fixed it for early final hearing. Till then, ad-interim relief was also granted against the implementation of the said resolution. It, however, appears that during pendency of the petition, the State Government issued another Government Resolution dated 14.6.1999 suspending the implementation of the aforesaid Government Resolution dated 5.5.1999 for a period of three years from 1999-2000 to 2001-2002. 3. Mr Clerk, learned counsel for the petitioners states that in view of the aforesaid developments, the present petition has become infructuous. 4. The petition is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. Rule is discharged with no order as to costs. Ad-interim relief granted earlier stands vacated. (M.S. Shah, J.) sundar/-
