CWP(T) No. 3950/08(OA 2027/96) 18.3.2009 Present: None for the petitioner. Mr. R. K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. A.G. with Mr. Vivek Thakur, Addl. A.G. and Mr. Anil Jaswal, Dy. Advocate General for the respondents. The respondent-State conducted interview for the post of Lab Attendant on 20.11.1996. It is the petitioner’s grievance that he was not called for the interview and as such prayed that the respondents be directed to afford opportunity to him to appear in the interview for the said post. The petition was filed in December, 1996. With the passage of time it has become infructuous. In any event respondents have explained in the affidavit that only such of those persons whose names were sponsored by the Employment Exchange Shimla or Sub-Employment Exchange in Shimla District were considered. Since his name was not sponsored hence he could not have been interviewed. The petition being devoid of any merit is dismissed. Petition stands disposed of. (Sanjay Karol), Judge. March 18, 2009 (PK)
