Special Civil Application No. 4319 of 1988 MR SHALIN N MEHTA for Petitioner No. 1 MR SUDHIR MEHTA, AGP for Respondent No. 1-2 -------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : MR.JUSTICE JAYANT PATEL Date of decision: 22/01/2003 ORAL JUDGEMENT The learned Counsel Mr. Mehta appearing for the petitioner states that pending the petition the petitioner has expired. Upon the perusal of the papers, the relief prayed in the petition shows that the petitioner had prayed for direction to the respondent to consider the case of the petitioner for promotion to the post of Deputy Director. When the petition came to be admitted on 19-12-1988, no interim relief was granted and therefore, since the petitioner has expired there is no question of directing the respondent to consider the case of the petitioner for promotion. Under these circumstances, the petition has become infructuous. Hence the petition is disposed of accordingly. Rule discharged. (Jayant Patel, J.) /malek
