On the last date of hearing, this Court while considering these cases had passed the following order:- “Learned State counsel prays for time to seek instructions in pursuance to the order dated 21.12.2010 as to whether the selected candidate whose selection has been challenged in CWP No.10814 of 2009 has joined or not. In the order dated 21.12.2010, it was observed that C.W.P.No.10814 of 2009 -2- respondent No.4 in CWP No.10814 of 2009 has not joined. The petitioner is stated to be the next in the merit for the post of Steno-Typist. Accordingly, learned State counsel prays for time to seek instructions as to whether the petitioner can be appointed on the said post in view of his merit. Adjourned to 24.08.2011.” In compliance with the said order, an affidavit dated 23.8.2011 of Sh.T.K.Tayal, Joint Director, Technical Education Department Haryana, Panchkula has been filed in CWP No.10814 of 2009 in Court today, wherein in para 4, it is stated as follows:- “4. That keeping in view of the above said orders of the Hon'ble Court, the case of the petitioner was considered and it has been decided by the competent authority on dated 19.08.2011 that since the post of steno-typist in the Government Polytechnic Educating Society, Uttawar is still lying vacant and it will take considerable time and efforts to re- advertise and repeat the recruitment process, the petitioner Sh.Randhir Singh who is at merit no.2 for the post of steno typist and respondent no.4 who was at merit no.1 has not joined, it has been considered that petitioner may be offered the appointment against the vacant post of steno typist at Government Polytechnic Education Society, Uttawar. However, the formal orders of the appointment of the C.W.P.No.10814 of 2009 -3- petitioner on the said post shall be issued within one month after completing the necessary procedural formalities.” In the light of the above affidavit, counsel for the petitioner states that the present writ petition has been rendered infructuous and is ordered accordingly.
