SIRI JAGAN, J ............................................... W.P(C) No. 33561 of 2003 ................................................. Dated this the 13th day of November, 2009 J U D G M E N T On 21.2.2000 the petitioner was appointed as a provisional driver in the Vadavucode - Puthencuruz Grama Panchayath. By Ext.P3 resolution, the Panchayath resolved to allow the petitioner to continue in service till a regular driver appointed through PSC or through Employment Exchange, joints duty. The petitioner has filed this writ petition challenging the move to terminate his service before a PSC hand or an Employment Exchange hand joins duty. The petitioner was not able to obtain a stay order staying the petitioner's termination from service. Therefore by passage of time, the writ petition runs itself out. Accordingly the writ petition is closed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE rhs
