Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) In this Civil Writ Petition filed in the year 1993, the petitioners, who were working as JBT Teachers at that time, have sought a direction to the respondents to consider their claim for promotion as Hindi Teachers on the basis of the recommendations already made in their favour by the appropriate authorities. The respondents have filed the counter-affidavit dated 9.9.1994, averring therein that the claim of the petitioners for promotion will be considered as per their seniority. More than 15 years have passed thereafter. C.W.P.No .15475 of 1993 2 Learned counsel for the petitioners states that the petitioners have not contacted him despite best efforts. It seems that by now the petitioners have been promoted as Hindi Teachers and are left with no interest in this case. Be that as it may, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents that if the petitioners are yet to be promoted, their claim be considered for promotion as Hindi Teachers as per their seniority and eligibility within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. However, if the petitioners have already been promoted in that event the writ petition shall be taken to have been disposed of as infructuous. Disposed of.
