Dalal, Advocate for respondent No.1. None for the petitioner. CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? No. 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? No. 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? No. -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) C.M. No.5700 of 2011 Application is allowed. Written statement is taken on record. C.W.P. No.1464 of 1990 1. The writ petition challenges the selection of Land Valuation Officer appointed by the respondent and the challenge was that the selection had been made in a clandestine manner. The petitioner had also sought for appointing himself as Land Valuation Officer since he fulfilled the eligibility criteria. I do not find that an issue of challenge of selection process could be considered on merits by this length of time. There has been no interim order granting stay of the person, who was appointed to assume office. The petitioner cannot be appointed to CWP No.1464 of 1990 (O&M) -2- the post of what he was not done in the year in the year when the selection was in progress. I find that the relief sought for in the writ petition has become infructuous. 2. The writ petition is dismissed as such. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE May 02, 2011 Pankaj*
