IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 17927 of 2010 Date of decision : 29.11.2011 Baljinder Singh ....Petitioner V/s The Chairman, Central Recruitment Board, Police Department, Punjab, Bathinda and others ....Respondents BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. H.S. Saggu, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. B.S. Chahal, DAG Punjab. Mr. Amit Sharma, Advocate for respondent No. 3. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) The petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of mandamus to direct respondents to consider his application for appointment as constable and also for carrying out correction in the date of birth. Admittedly, during the pendency of this petition, the petitioner has already been appointed as constable. Thus, no cause of action survives regarding prayer in this respect. As regards prayer for correction of date of birth, learned counsel submits that he may be allowed to withdraw this prayer with liberty to make a representation. The aforesaid prayer is not opposed by learned counsel representing the respondents. In view of above, this petition is dismissed as having been rendered infructuous qua the prayer for appointment as constable. The petitioner shall, however, be at liberty to make representation regarding rest of relief claimed. November 29, 2011 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
