A copy each thereof has been supplied to the counsel opposite. This order will dispose of two writ petitions bearing nos. 10402 of 2010 and 11393 of 2010. The petitioners have impugned the action of the respondents- State in withdrawing the benefits granted to them of Assured Career Progression Scheme which had been awarded to them after considering the CWP No. 10402 of 2010 (O&M) 2 service rendered by them in the Haryana State Minor Irrigation Tubewell Corporation in terms of the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court in Deepak Sood's case. Pursuant to the notice of motion having been issued by this Court, response to both the petitions has been filed by the State wherein they have stated that the instructions of the Government dated 17.2.2010 and instructions dated 17.5.2010 which were the basis of the decision to withdraw the benefits from the petitioner have since been withdrawn vide orders dated 30.12.2010. In the writ petition, the sole prayer made by the petitioner is to quash the instructions dated 17.2.2010 and 17.5.2010 which having been withdrawn and this has rendered the instant writ petitions as infructuous and hence, the instant petitions are disposed of as such.
