WP(SS) No. 3185/2001 Hon’ble M.M. Ghildiyal, J. Heard Sri C.D. Bahuguna, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to treat the petitioner in continuous service of the department on the post of Patwari w.e.f. 16.11.1999, when his services were wrongly terminated by the authorities. Since the relief sought by this writ petition has already been granted to the petitioner in writ petition no. 7311(S/S) 2001, therefore, this writ petition has become infructuous. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of as infructuous. (M.M. Ghildiyal, J.) 07.07.2004: NCM:
