Nagarjuna Reddy) Writ Appeal No.1699 of 2000 This Writ Appeal arises out of order dt.1.11.2002 in Writ Petition No.278 of 2000 whereby the learned Single Judge set aside the promotion of respondent No.3 to the post of Assistant Administrative Officer in appellant No.1 company and directed fresh consideration of the claims of respondent Nos.1 to 3. At the hearing, Sri K. Subrahmanya Reddy, learned Senior Counsel representing the appellants, submitted that during the pendency of this Writ Appeal, respondents 1 and 2 – writ petitioners were also promoted as Assistant Administrative Officers while continuing respondent No.3 in the said post. He, therefore, submitted that in view of this subsequent event, the cause in the Writ Appeal does not survive for consideration. The learned Senior Counsel further submitted that in view of the promotion of all the three respondents referred to above, appellant No.1 may be given liberty to consider and fix the inter se seniority among them. Sri Abhinand Kumar Shavili, learned Counsel representing respondent No.3, submitted that so long as his client is not reverted, he can have no objection for the suggestion made by the learned Senior Counsel. There is no representation for respondents 1 and 2. Inasmuch as the grievance of the respondents 1 and 2 stood redressed with their promotion and in view of the fair submission of the learned Senior Counsel that inter se seniority among respondents 1 to 3 will be fixed in accordance with the service regulations, the Writ Appeal is disposed of placing on record the above submission of the learned Senior Counsel. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Appeal, W.A.M.P. No.3162 of 2000, filed by the appellants for interim relief, is dismissed as infructuous. Writ Appeal (SR) No.136341 of 2000 In view of the above order passed in Writ Appeal No.1699 of 2000, this Writ Appeal is dismissed as infructuous. ______________ ANIL R.
