C.W.P.9704 of 1990 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.9304 of 1990 Date of decision: November 9,2010 Raj Kumar Garg V. State of Haryana and others CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.JEYAPAUL Present: None for the petitioner. Mr. Sukhvinder Singh Nara, Sr. DAG, Haryana for the respondent-State. There is no representation for the petitioner. Heard the submissions made by the learned Counsel for the respondent-State. The petitioner was originally appointed as Master in the State of Pepsu way back on 10.9.1955. On account of career progression, he was promoted to the cadre of Headmaster in the State of Haryana on 27.1.1969. On deputation he was posted as English Lecturer at the Moti Lal Nehru School of Sports, Rai as on 13.8.1973. Responding to the advertisement given by the third respondent, the petitioner applied for the post of Bursar ( Administrative Officer ). He was appointed by the third respondent as Bursar ( Administrative Officer) on 9.3.1981. The third respondent through the impugned order directed the petitioner, recalling the deputation, to report for duty for appointment as Principal, Government Senior Secondary School, Keharwala ( Sirsa). C.W.P.9704 of 1990 2 The petitioner chose to challenge the said order issued by the third respondent on the ground that he was not sent on deputation by the third respondent to hold the position as Bursar (Administrative Officer ) but was appointed independently pursuant to the advertisement calling for fresh appointment as Bursar ( Administrative Officer ) by the third respondent. In this view of the matter, the petitioner sought to quash the impugned proceedings. This Court while entertaining the writ petition, granted stay of the operation of the impugned order passed by the third respondent withdrawing the deputation for appointment as Principal, Government Senior Secondary School, Keharwala ( Sirsa ). The Counsel for the respondent-State, on instruction from Mr.Krishan Kumar,Assistant, would submit that the petitioner continued in service as Bursar ( Administrative Officer) and thereafter he occupied the position of Vice Principal in the Moti Lal Nehru School of Sports and retired voluntarily from service as on 30.6.1992 itself. Inasmuch as the impugned order in the above facts and circumstances of this case has become totally infructuous, in my considered opinion, nothing survives in this petition and, accordingly, the same is dismissed as having been rendered infructuous. 9.11.2010 ( M.Jeyapaul ) sks Judge
