ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.32957 of 2009 ------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T Ext.P6 seniority list of Sub Inspectors (General Executive) is under challenge. 2. The learned Government Pleader now points out that during the pendency of the writ petition, a fresh provisional seniority list of Sub Inspectors has been published, objections called for and a fresh seniority list is being finalised. In view of the above, the challenge against Ext.P5 has lost its relevance. Leaving open the right of the petitioners to seek their remedies against the new seniority list, if they are aggrieved, the writ petition is disposed of. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE. nj.
