No 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? No -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. On 31.07.1990, a Division Bench of this Court responded to a plea for adjournment to file an amended petition and directed that the matter would be posted before this Court after the needful was done and 21 years later, when the case was brought before Court, learned counsel for the petitioner Ms. Alka Chatrath would state that she has no instructions from the party and she does not know the status of the case. The fact is that the amendment in petition, which was contemplated in the year 1990, has not been made. The State has also no instructions on the status of present petition. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner points out that the respondent has filed a counter stating that the petitioner's case for promotion had been recommended. Neither the petitioner nor the respondent is in a position to apprise the Court of the outcome of C.W.P. No.4155 of 1990 -2- recommendation whether the petitioner is promoted or not. In the absence of any particulars or assistance by either of the counsel, the petition deserves a dismissal and accordingly dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE August 16, 2011 Pankaj*
