The respondent-applicant approached the Tribunal, inter alia, seeking direction to consider his case for promotion to the post of Forester by conversion and transfer from A.P. Ministerial Service Rules. The Tribunal on consideration of the entire circumstances of the case disposed of the O.A. with the following directions : “…. In view of such circumstances, as the respondents have not considered the directions given in O.A.No.6985/2000, dt.13.7.2004, the impugned orders passed by the 1st respondent in Rc.No.10193/2003-M2, dated 28.9.2004, and the consequential orders passed by the 3rd respondent in Memo. No.5623/For.V/2004-5, dt.22.4.2006, are set aside, and the matter is remanded back to the 3rd respondent, to re-examine the whole issue and pass appropriate orders, within a period of 8 (eight ) weeks from the date of receipt of this order. Accordingly, the O.A. is disposed of. In view of disposal of the O.A. itself, the C.A. stands closed. No costs. ” Challenging the above order passed by the Tribunal in O.A.No.6943 of 2004 dated 21-11-2006, the present writ petition has been filed by the Government. It is now brought to the notice of this Court that prior to filing of this writ petition itself, considering the orders passed by the Tribunal in the above referred O.A., the Government by orders in Memo No.6528/For.V/2006-2 dated 6-9-2007, rejected the request of the applicant- respondent for his appointment as Forest Section Officer. In the circumstances, we are of the opinion that the cause in the writ petition does not survive for adjudication and therefore the Writ Petition has become infructous. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as infructous. No costs. ________________ GM, J _______________ kk/nrg CVR, J
