The Bihar Public Service Commission did not consider the B.T. degree equivalent to B.Ed., despite the fact that State Govt. was very much clear on this point that B.T. degree is an equivalent and eligible degree for promotion to the post of Headmaster. Counsel for the petitioners submits that the notification under challenge was stayed during the pendency of the writ applications. Subsequently, concurrence was also given by the Bihar Service Public Commission and the State Govt. also issued notification cancelling the earlier notification under challenge in all these writ applications. On account of these 4 developments the promotion given to the petitioners to the post of Headmaster remained unchallenged and grievances of the petitioners have also been redressed. Since the grievances of the petitioners have been redressed and the impugned notification has already recalled by the Govt. itself, all these writ applications are disposed of.
