Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Rajiv Sharma, Judge. For the appellant. : Mr. B.C. Negi, Advocate. For respondents No. 1 and 2. : Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Additional Advocate General and Mr. J.K. Verma, Deputy Advocate General. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral): C.M.P. (M) No. 489 of 2010. Heard. Delay condoned. L.P.A. No. 68 of 2010. Appellant is the writ petitioner. The writ petitioner approached the Tribunal challenging the alleged back-door appointments made in the Police Department. The petitioner had in fact arrayed respondents No. 4 to 9 on the party array. The 2 learned Single Judge disposed of the writ petition, holding that the petitioner is only a busy body and being a service matter, unless he had a personal grievance affecting his services, the writ petition should not have been filed and apparently, the writ petition was filed for publicity. 2. Having gone through the entire facts of the case, we find that the Original Application was filed in the year, 1995 and the petitioner was only aged 23 years and he was an unemployed youth. He approached the Tribunal only to ensure that the appointments in the Police Department are made as per the Recruitment and Promotion Rules, so that the unemployed persons like the petitioner would get opportunity. In this view of the matter, we do not find any justification for imposing costs. Therefore, the appeal is disposed of vacating the order of costs. 3. The appeal stands disposed of, so also the pending application (s), if any. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. (Justice Rajiv Sharma), Judge. 24th June, 2010 (bhupender)
