By means of this petition, the petitioner has sought mandamus directing respondent No. 2 to post in plain cadre from hill cadre. This writ petition was filed in the year 1998. With effect from 09.11.2000, State of Uttaranchal has been created and division of State of U.P. has taken place. As such, since there are no two cadre in Uttaranchal known as hill cadre and plain cadre, this writ petition has become infructuous. The writ petition is dismissed as infructuous.
