From time t o time, the contractual appointment, so made, was extended. Aggrieved by the termination of his appointment by order, dated 19.07.96, passed by the respondent No.3, namely, Inspector of Schools, Goalpara District Circle, Goalpara, the petitioner came to this Court, with a writ petition made under Ar ticle 226 of the Constitution of India, seeking issuance of appropriate directio ns to the respondents. The said writ petition gave rise to WP(C) No.3868/1998. T he said writ petition was disposed of by judgment and order, dated 05.09.2002. T he penultimate directions given, while disposing of the said writ petition, read as under: The writ petition stands disposed of with the above directions and observations that in case there is any existing vacancy in grade-IV services, the same may b e filled up and the case of the petitioners may also be considered along with ot her similarly situated persons. There has, admittedly, been no selection process commenced since after passing o f the order, dated 05.09.2002, whereby the said writ petition was disposed of. T he writ petitioner cannot, therefore, seek issuance of directions in the nature of mandamus to the respondents, when there is already a writ of mandamus running in his favour. This writ petition is, therefore, disposed of making it clear th at as and when the respondents/authorities concerned initiate the process of fil ling up of grade-IV post, in Krishnai Girls High School, Goalpara, the petitione r shall be allowed to participate along with similarly situated other persons. The writ petition shall accordingly stand disposed of. No order as to costs.
