The subject matter of the original petition is the selection to the post of E.D. Agent held in 1996. The petitioner was not selected as he was lower in merit when compared to other candidates. The petitioner's Original Application was dismissed by the Central Administrative Tribunal on the above ground. Therefore, we find no merit in the writ petition. Further, owing to efflux of time, it is unnecessary to consider the case of the petitioner on merits. Accordingly, the Original Petition is dismissed.
