(Oral) The writ petition is filed with the following prayers: “(i) To quash decision dated 9.7.2010 (Annexure P- 3) whereby a decision to fill up 8 posts of Lecturers in respondent No.2 by respondent No.3 by some selection process other than the one contemplated by Tenure Policy (Annexure P-2) has been taken; (ii) The consequent advertisement made by respondent No.3 on 20.8.2010 (Annexure P-5) may also be quashed; (iii) The respondents No.1 and 2 may be directed to follow Tenure Policy (Annexure P-2) in letter and spirit and without any discrimination; (iv) In case the respondents No.1 and 2 have to resort to recruitment through respondent No.3, first either R&P Rules, 2006 may be revived or fresh Rules 2 under Article 309 of the Constitution of India may be re-framed and the process of selection through respondent No.3 may be resorted to thereafter.” 2. It is seen from the short reply filed by the Public Service Commission that they had taken up the matter with the Government. The learned Deputy Advocate General on the basis of instruction dated 15th December, 2010, which is taken on record, from the Principal Secretary (Health) to the Government of Himachal Pradesh submits that after bifurcation of the quota, the Commission has been asked by the Government to advertise the posts, which go to the share of direct quota. It is seen from the instruction, referred to above, that steps are also being taken for filling up the posts from the eligible in-service candidates. 3. In view of the development, as above, nothing remains to be considered in this writ petition. It is accordingly closed, so also the pending applications, if any. Dasti copy.
