S.B.Civil Writ Petition No.1206/1995 State Vs. Mohan Lilani & Ors. S.B.Civil Writ Petition No. 3336/1996 G.D. Singhal Vs. State Date of order : 24.02.2009 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE PREM SHANKER ASOPA Mr. S.N.Kumawat, Additional Advocate General for petitioner (in S.B.C.W. No. 1206/95) None present for the respondents. None present for the petitioner (in S.B.C.W. No.3336/96) Mr. S.N.Kumawat, Additional Advocate General for State. Mr. S.N.Kumawat, Additional Advocate General submits that the seniority list has been issued on the basis of interim direction of the Supreme Court and the final order has been passed by the Supreme Court on 08th of August 1996. The final order of the Supreme court is as follows :- “This appeal is directed against the judgment of the Division Bench of the Rajasthan High Court dated May 5, 1980. The High Court by the impugned judgment quashed the confirmation of the appellants in the cadre of Lower Division Clerks. It is not disputed that even on the date of the judgment almost all the appellants had been promoted to the higher ranks of Upper Division Clerks, Assistants and Section Officers. Most of them are as present working as Section Officers or Assistant Secretaries. Mr. Aruneshwar Gupta, learned counsel for the private respondents states that the de- confirmation of the appellants way back in 1980 shall have no effect on the inter-se rights of the parties specially for their consideration for - 2 - future promotion to the post of Assistant Secretaries and above. Due to lapse of time, the things have automatically straightened. In the facts and circumstances of this case, therefore, it is not necessary for us to go into the merits of the controversy. We direct that the appellants shall be considered for further promotion on the basis of their seniority and status in their existing posts which they are holding without taking into effect the factum of their de-confirmation by the impugned order. Mr. Aruneshwar Gupta has no objection to the view, we have taken. The appeal is disposed of. No costs.” Since the Supreme Court has not gone into the merit of the case and it appears that all the parties have been retired without there being any reversion on account of the interim order passed in this writ petition, therefore, there is no need to pass any order on merit, otherwise also neither the respondents present in the writ petition filed by the State nor the counsel for the petitioner nor petitioner to prosecute the writ petition filed by him titled as G.D.Singhal Vs. State bearing S.B.Civil Writ Petition No.3336/1996. Both the writ petitions are disposed of accordingly as per the direction of the Supreme Court. (PREM SHANKER ASOPA),J. Gandhi H/3-4
