This appeal is directed against the order dated 20th September 1990 passed by the learned Single Judge in Special Civil Application No. 6312 of 1990 rejecting the petition in which the petitioners - students had sought a direction on the respondent - Board to declare their results of First Year P.T.C. Course for which the examination was conducted at the end of the academic year 1989 - 90 and to permit them to pursue their Second Year P.T.C. Course. 2. The learned Single Judge while rejecting the petition gave a direction to the respondents to declare the results of the students if the Charity Commissioner decides that the trustees who had given direction to the principal for giving admission to the students were authorised to give admission. This appeal which was preferred against the order of the learned single Judge came to be admitted on 10th October 1999. In Civil Application No. 1697 of 1990 filed in this appeal, ad interim relief was granted directing the State Examination Board to declare the results of the applicants of the first year examination of P.T.C. within one week from the date of receipt of the writ. Nearly 11 years have elapsed after that order. It is evident that since the results were ordered to be declared and must have been declared within a week from the date of receipt of the writ on the basis of the directions given on 10-10-1990, the present appeal has become infructuous. The appeal is therefore dismissed with no orders as to costs, as having become infructuous. The parties are at liberty to move the Court in case of any difficulty.
