THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA W.P.No. 838 of 2002 ORDER: The petitioner is aggrieved by the action of respondents 1 and 2 in not promoting him to the post of Principal of schools run by the second respondent. The petitioner was initially appointed as Secondary Grade Teacher on 07.02.1985 in the Municipal Corporation School, Visakhapatnam on regular basis. He continued in the said post up to 02.07.1996. Thereafter he was selected and appointed as Post Graduate Teacher in Social Studies by the APREI society and joined service in A.P. Residential School, Rajavommangi, East Godavari District on 03.07.1996 without any break. Thereafter, APREI Society was bifurcated into two societies viz., APREI society and APTWREI society and the petitioner was allotted to A.P. Tribal Welfare Residential Institution Society (APTWREI). Thereafter, notification dated 24.10.2001 was issued by the first respondent inviting applications from eligible persons for the post of Principal. As per Clause 3 of the notification, teaching experience of not less than ten years plus administrative experience as Head Master/Inspecting Officer (Gazetted) for five years was required and in the case of Post Graduate Teachers and Junior Lecturers of APTWREI Society, the condition of five years of administrative experience may be relaxed, if they are otherwise qualified. The petitioner appeared in the interview but was disqualified only on the ground that he does not possess the experience of having taught in a secondary school. Accordingly, the petitioner was not appointed as the Principal of the school run by the second respondent whereas the third respondent was selected. The petitioner has impugned the action of the second respondent in not appointing him to the post of Principal. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that during the pendency of the writ petition, the petitioner might have promoted to the post of Principal. As he is not in touch with the petitioner any more, he does not have definite information in this regard. It is thus submitted that in case the petitioner was promoted to the post of Principal, then nothing survives in the writ petition. In view of the statement made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the writ petition is closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
