What is this about?
Dismissal for non-prosecution of three Article 226 writ petitions; Front Office Coordinator, District Legal Services Authority; oral termination during contract period; Member Secretary letter dated 21-07-2022; termination stated w.e.f. 11-10-2011; continuation in service until regular employee appointed; violation of Articles 14, 16, 21 claimed; Section 151 CPC interim applications (continuation, impleadment, deletion, vacating interim order dated 17.10.2022); A.P. State Legal Services Authority; National Legal Services Authority; petitioner resigned, re-employed in Government service on 27.01.2026; no costs; miscellaneous petitions closed; no adjudication on merits; bench: Cheekati Manavendranath Roy and Tuhin Kumar Gedema JJ. (Gedela).
What did the court decide?
Since there was no representation on behalf of the writ petitioners when the matters were called out, showing that the petitioners were not evincing interest to pursue their writ petitions, all three writ petitions are dismissed for non-prosecution, with no order as to costs. The Court did not adjudicate the merits of the challenged terminations.
