(ORAL) The petitioner seeks a writ in the nature of mandamus to promote the petitioner to the post of Principal from the date his junior- respondent No. 3 was promoted. At the outset learned counsel for the petitioner submits that during the pendency of this petition, petitioner has been promoted as Principal. Thus no cause of action survives with regard to this prayer. However, as regards his claim for promotion from the date prior to date of promotion of respondent No. 3, he may be allowed to make representation. Learned State counsel has no objection to aforesaid prayer. In view of the fact that no cause of action survives with regard to claim of the petitioner for promotion as Principal, no further orders are required to be passed. The petitioner shall however, be at liberty to make a representation regarding rest of his claim, if any, which may be considered by the concerned authority. Disposed of.
