In the counter affidavit, it is stated that the petitioner was interviewed on 27.3.1998 by the selection committee pursuant to the orders of this Court in W.P.No.1386 of 1998 dated 22.1.1998 and his case was considered in terms of BP Ms.No.36 dated 18.5.1997, that the petitioner had appeared for the interview and had produced the certificate showing that he worked as casual labour for 1311/2 man days, but the certificate was not signed by any field officer, that the Divisional Engineer was requested to verify the connected records and furnish a report, that the Divisional Engineer in his report dated 8.12.1999 had stated after due verification, that no particulars were available in the division and since the certificate was not supported by any records with the Corporation, his case for appointment as Junior Lineman was rejected, vide proceedings dated 10.1.2000. The said order of rejection was passed subsequent to the filing of this writ petition. Since an order of rejection has been passed, the relief sought for in this writ petition cannot be granted. Leaving it open to the petitioner, if he so chooses, to question the proceedings of the respondents dated 10.1.2000 rejecting his request for being appointed as Junior lineman, the writ petition fails and is, accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. __________ 19-3-2008 asp
