In the light of the aforestated interim order permitting the petitioners to appear for the selection without sponsorship by the Employment Exchange, no cause survives for adjudication in the writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 4TH FEBRUARY, 2010. VGSR [1] 1996 (6) SCALE 676
