WP(C) 1356/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY In this case, the recruitment process for different posts under the Directorate of Social Welfare is under challenge on the ground that the consideration of onl y those candidates, whose names are sponsored by the Employment Exchange is envi saged through the impugned notice dated 17.1.2009 issued by the Director of Soci al Welfare, Assam (Annexure 3). The petitioners contended that they are unlikely to be sponsored by the Employment Exchange and therefore, they approached the C ourt seeking a direction for open advertisement of the posts through newspapers, so that all interested candidates can offer their candidature. After the order dated 30.3.2009, Mr. H Rahman, learned Govt. Advocate has obtain ed instructions from the Directorate and from the communication dated 3.4.2009, a copy of which is produced, it appears that a decision has already been taken b y the Directorate, to issue a fresh general notice in the local newspapers, invi ting open applications so that all can apply for the posts and interested person s are not restricted, by the requirement of sponsorship through local employment exchange. In view of the above instructions, Ms. S P Hussain, learned counsel appearing fo r the petitioners does not wish to press this writ petition, as her clients in v iew of the fresh decision of the Director, Social Welfare appear to have obtaine d the relief, for which this case was filed. In view of the above, this case is disposed of as not pressed. A copy of the communication dated 3.4.2009 of the Directorate of Social Welfare, Assam shall be kept in the records of this case.
