These two writ petitions are filed for a mandamus to declare the interference of respondent No.1 with the selection and appointment of contract labour of the petitioners for being engaged in maintenance of sub- stations as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, it has come out that the interference complained of by the petitioners was on account of letter bearing No.CE/KDP/ Zone/ Tech./ ADE.T2 /AE.T3/ F.46/ D.No.1384/11, dated 30.06.2011, and the consequential letter bearing No.SE/TL & SS/KNL/Tech.,/F.78 & 10/D.No.2061/11, dated 01.07.2011. In the counter affidavit, it is stated that the circulars referred to above were kept in abeyance vide proceedings in Circular No.CMD/98/11, dated 09.08.2011, of the Chairman and Managing Director, wherein it is directed to continue the old and existing procedure in relation to subsisting contract works till a committee is constituted to work out the modalities. Having regard to this development taken place during the pendency of these writ petitions, the cause in the writ petitions does not survive for adjudication. Accordingly, the writ petitions are disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to avail legal remedy, if and when the earlier policy is revived. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petitions, interim orders, if any, granted shall stand vacated and the interlocutory applications, if any pending, shall stand disposed of as infructuous.
