The dispute with regard to holding the post of Head of Department of the Post- Graduate/University, Mathili Department between the petitioner and the respondent no.5, dependent on the inter-se seniority between them, seems to have lost all its significance in the interregnum period of last fifteen years, specially when this Court had passed an interim order as with regard to stay of the order in favour of the respondent no.5 for his working on the post of Head of 2 Department. That being so, this application has become infructuous and is, accordingly, dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
