IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO : 9093 of 1996 Date: 29.08.2005 Between: M. Jayapaul Babu, S/o late Samuel, R/o. Tenali, Guntur District. ..... PETITIONER AND 1 State of A.P. rep. by its Principal Secretary to Government, Educational Department Secretariat Buildings, Saifabad, Hyderabad and others .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: Questioning the proceedings of the Commissioner of Collegiate Education in proceedings dated 11.04.1996, whereby, the fifth respondent was posted in the fourth respondent college, this writ petition is filed, and consequential direction is sought to the first and second respondents to fill up the post of Lecturer in History in the fourth respondent college in terms of G.O.Ms.No.12, Education dated 10.01.1992, considering the case of the petitioner on a preferential basis. Ms.S. Manjula, learned Government Pleader for Higher Education, on instructions, submits that the petitioner has been admitted to the Grant-in-aid post on 12.04.1998 and as such, the cause in the writ petition does not survive. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he does not have any instructions from his client in this regard and if the said statement of the learned Government Pleader for Higher Education that the petitioner has been admitted to the Grant-in- aid post, is true, this writ petition undoubtedly has become infructuous. Recording the said statement of learned Government Pleader for Higher Education that the petitioner has been admitted to the Grant-in-aid post on 12.04.1998 and since, admittedly, the cause in the writ petition no longer survives, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________________ Ramesh Ranganathan, J Date: 29.08.2005 va
