It appears, petitioners have not made any arrangements in this regard and there is no representation on their behalf. The challenge made by the petitioners in this writ petition is as to allotment of 30% marks for interview without fixing any guidelines, which according to them is arbitrary and illegal. In the counter filed by the respondents, it is stated that 30% of marks for interview have been fixed as per the orders passed by the Government of Andhra Pradesh and the selection committee has strictly followed the guidelines issued in the said G.Os. Even otherwise, this writ petition was filed in the year 1999 questioning the procedure adopted by the respondents. This Court, while admitting the writ petition on 13.4.1999, directed the respondents to consider the cases of petitioners to Category-V posts of District Central Cooperative Bank, Visakhapatnam district at Headquarters or any one of the branches. Therefore, nothing survives in the writ petition for further adjudication and the same is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 7.3.2008 DA
