Civil Writ Petition No.10069 of 1991(O&M) Rajpal Singh and others ...Petitioners versus State of Haryana and others ....Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN ---- Present: Mr. Ram Kumar Malik, Senior Advocate, with Mr. Vijay Dalunga, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Satbir Singh Goripuria, DAG, Haryana. ---- 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? No. 2. To be referred to the reporters or not ? No. 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest ? No. ---- K.Kannan, J. (Oral) 1. Both the writ petitions are connected and they contain a challenge to the selection of the private respondents to the post of Assistant Sub Inspector by Staff Selection Board during the chairmanship of Shri Anand Singh Dangi but after the resignation, the Civil Writ Petition No.9960 of 1991(O&M) - 2 - list was changed and even persons, who did not appear in the exam or physical test, had been selected. 2. The counsel for the State makes a statement that the selection which was made was set aside by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in a civil appeal filed by some of the affected parties and the selection has also been set aside and fresh selection was actually held from the candidates, who had applied. Both the petitions, therefore, become infructuous and their remedy shall only be against the subsequent selection made, if they are still aggrieved. Both the petitions are dismissed as such but since the learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners states that he does not know the present status, the respective petitioners in the petitions shall be at liberty to approach this Court if the issues raised in the writ petitions still remain alive for consideration. 3. Both the writ petitions are disposed of with the observations as mentioned above. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE 15 .07.2011 sanjeev
