P.C.: In response to the notice issued by this Court, the respondent State has filed its affidavit of Mr. Ulhas Datta Kamat, dated 18th March 2004. In the said affidavit, at paragraph 9, it is stated that anticipating the approval of the Government to the proposed amendment of the Recruitment Rules, the Goa Medical College had invited applications, through open advertisements, on 29th May 2003, as well as by placing requisition with the Employment Exchange for filling up four vacancies of Laboratory - 2 - Assistants by direct recruitment. It is further stated that the petitioner had also applied as a departmental candidate. Paragraph 9 further recites that the amendment to the Recruitment Rules is yet to be approved and notified, and, therefore, the Goa Medical College has not gone ahead with the selection process. It is further stated that as and when the amended Recruitment Rules are notified, fresh applications will be called and the petitioner will also be considered, if found eligible. The learned Government Advocate appearing on behalf of the respondents has stated that no effect at all would now be given to the advertisement which has been issued and which is at Annexure P-4 to the petition insofar as the post of Laboratory Assistant is concerned. We accept this statement and in view of this statement, according to us, nothing survives in the petition and, accordingly, the - 3 - petition is disposed of. P.V. HARDAS, J. D.G. KARNIK, J. ed’s.
