Respondents. ----------- 05- 30.4.2010 Heard Mr. Rajesh Kumar Singh, learned Assistant Counsel to Additional Advocate General No.2 for the appellants, and Mr. Pramod Kumar for the respondents. Both the appeals under Clause 10 of the Letter Patent of the High Court of Judicature at Patna raise a grievance with respect to the common order dated 3.8.2006, passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court, in C.W.J.C. No.6115 of 2001 (Neela Kumari @ Neela Devi and others Vs. State of Bihar and others), and the analogous C.W.J.C. No.9049 of 2001 (Rambha Kumari and another vs. State of Bihar and others), whereby the writ petitions were allowed and the authorities were directed to appoint the writ petitioners (respondents 3 herein) on the post of Auxiliary Nursing Mid-wife (hereinafter referred to as the ‘A.N.M.’). Learned counsel for the writ- petitioners (respondents herein) submits that they have since been appointed as A.N.M. which renders these appeals infructuous. 2. In that view of the matter, both the appeals are disposed of as having become infructuous. (S K Katriar, J.) (Kishore K. Mandal, J.) S.K.Pathak/
