MC 519/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA Mr. Phukan, learned counsel for the applicant , who is the Respondent No . 7 in the writ petition. Also heard Mrs. A. Devi, learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner. By these two applications, the Respondent No. 7 has prayed for vacating the interim orders operating in the writ petition. The subject matter of challenge in the writ petition is the gradation li st dated 9.3.2010 pertaining to Joint Director/General Manager. By order dated 3 1.3.2010 it was provided that no further action will be taken in terms of the im pugned gradation list dated 9.3.2010. Thereafter, on the basis of the submission made on behalf of all the parties direction was issued for consideration of the case for promotion to the rank of Additional Director. Such consideration is to be made taking into account all eligible officers. The order was clarified by o rder dated 5.1.2011. Upon hearing the parties such clarification was to the effe ct that since the impugned gradation list is under order of stay and the writ pe tition is pending for final disposal the consideration for promotion should be m ade on the basis of the provisional gradation list dated 26.8.2009. The order wa s passed with the consent of the parties. Now the aforesaid two miscellaneous applications have been filed seeking modific ations of the stay order by way of directing the respondents to consider the cas e for promotion on the basis of the final gradation list which is under order of stay in the writ petition. If such a direction is issued, the writ petition wil l become infructuous which is now fixed for hearing and in fact has been heard i n part. Already various orders have been passed as interim measures in terms of which now the case of the eligible officers will have to be considered for promo tion. Any further order if passed same will have far reaching effect on the sai d interim orders as well as in the hearing of the writ petition. In view of the above, I am not inclined to vacate and/or modify the said interim orders. Consequently both applications are dismissed.
