Also heard Mr SK Medhi, the learned counsel for the private respondents. It is pointed out by the learned counsel for the private respond ents that the private respondents were already appointed to the posts in questio n before the interim order was passed and as such, the writ petition has become infractuous. Faced with this situation, the learned counsel for the petitioners does not wish to press this writ petition. The writ petition is disposed of as n ot pressed. It shall however be open to the petitioners to approach the Depa rtment authority for consideration of their case on merit.
