Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.A.BHASKARA CHARY Counsel for the Respondent: GP FOR HOME The Court made the following: THE HONIBLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO.21297 of 1994 ORDER: The Writ Petition is filed seeking a declaration that the impugned order in G.O.R.T.No.358 Law Department, dated 31.10.1994 issued by the first respondent is arbitrary, illegal and void and a consequential direction to the first respondent to appoint the petitioner to the post of Assistant Government Pleader, Peddapuram, East Godavari District. This Court admitted the Writ Petition on 05.12.1994. The case of the petitioner in brief is that the earlier Assistant Government Pleader’s term was completed in the year 1993. He is the senior advocate having 20 years of standing than the other two advocates who are in the panel sent by the District Collector. The first respondent appointed the second respondent, who is not having even seven years standing as advocate and the G.O.358, dated 31.10.1994 under which the second respondent was appointed as Assistant Government Pleader is challenged in this Writ Petition. The subject matter of the Writ Petition itself has become infructuous as the term of the Assistant Government Pleader for three years was completed by the year 1997 and nothing survives in the Writ Petition. The Writ Petition is therefore dismissed as infructuous. ______________ (N.V.RAMANA, J) 22nd September 2004 RRB ASSISTANT REGISTRAR //True Copy// SECTION OFFICER Copy To: 1.
