The Court made the following : THE HONORUABLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA WRIT PETITION NO.19666 OF 1994 ORDER: This writ petition is filed challenging the validity and legality of the G.O.Ms.No.386 Agriculture & Cooperation (Agr.III) Department, dated 5.9.1994 whereby 50 seats each in the two veterinary colleges at Hyderabad and Tirupathi were increased for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes candidates. This Court in W.P.M.P.No.24179 of 1994 by order dated 4.11.1994 granted interim suspension of the said Government Order G.O.Ms.No.386. However, it is brought to the notice of this Court that the scheme of the said G.O. was a special scheme and was temporary one which would be subjected to review after five years and the said period of five years had already expired and by virtue of the said interim order of suspension granted by this Court, the said scheme could not be acted upon. In that view of the matter, since the said period of five years has already elapsed, I do not find any cause of action existing as on today. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed as having become infructuous without expressing any opinion on the scheme evolved by the Government. ______________ (D.S.R.VARMA,J) DT.24.9.2004 MDAA/KRK.
