Heard Mr. Ashok Kumar Dubey, learned Assistant Counsel to A.A.G-IX for respondents no. 4, 5 and 6. The writ petition seeks a direction to alter the transfer order whereby the petitioners have been transferred to different position. It appears to us that the petitioners were employees of the Bihar State Agricultural Marketing Board governed by Act of Bihar Agricultural Produce Markets Act 1960. The Act has been repealed by the Bihar Legislature which renders the writ petition infructuous. It is accordingly dismissed. (S.K. Katriar, J) M.Rahman ( Birendra Prasad Verma, J )
