CORAM : D.D.SINHA AND S.R.DONGAONKAR, JJ. DATED : AUGUST 22, 2006 Heard Shri Kaptan, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and Shri Chaudhari, learned Assistant Solicitor General for the respondent nos.1 and 2. Civil Application No.4792/2006 is moved by the respondent nos. 1 and 2, for modification of the order dated 19.4.2005 passed by this Court in the present petition whereby respondents were permitted to appoint a person to the post of Additional Director General (Works) on ad hoc basis subject to decision of this petition to meet the administrative exigency. 2 Shri Chaudhari, learned Assistant Solicitor General for respondent nos.1 and 2, states that during pendency of the petition, petitioner is promoted to the post of Additional Director General (Works) vide order dated 14.7.2006 and he has also taken charge of the said post and, therefore, above referred observations in the order may be deleted. Shri Kaptan, learned Counsel for the petitioner, states that though petitioner is promoted, however, issue about giving of deemed date has not yet been decided by the respondent nos. 1 and 2 and, therefore, cause of action in respect of that aspect needs to be adjudicated by this Court. Be that as it may, in the backdrop of the above referred facts, it is evident that petitioner is promoted to the post of Additional Director General (Works) and, therefore, grievance of the petitioner in this regard at this stage stands redressed. Hence, it is not necessary for the respondent nos. 1 and 2 to appoint person on the said post on ad hoc basis any more. 3 However, since grievance of the petitioner about grant of deemed date of promotion appears to be still alive, same is kept open. With these observations/modification, the civil application is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE khj
