In this petition filed under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner has inter alia, prayed for issuance of a writ in the nature of prohibition, restraining the officials respondents from promoting the private respondents as Assistant Engineer, despite the fact that they are not eligible for promotion in view of the notification dated 12.10.1993 (Annexure P-11) and also before carrying out the order of this Court, dated 5.4.2010 (Annexure P-9). During the course of hearing, learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners had earlier approached this Court by filing Civil Writ Petition No. 6014 of 2010. The said writ petition was disposed of on 5.4.2010 with a direction to the respondent-Corporation to consider the representations submitted by the petitioners and take appropriate decision thereon as per law, within a period of 2 C.W.P. No. 9505 of 2010 eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of that order. The counsel further submitted that since the time-limit of eight weeks, as ordered in the said writ petition, has not yet expired, the present writ petition is premature and the petitioners may be permitted to withdraw the same. In view of the above, the prayer is allowed and the writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn. (AJAY KUMAR MITTAL) May 26, 2010 JUDGE *RKMALIK*
