Petitioners challenged a collector's order cancelling their promotion as Head Masters. The court noted the impugned order was clarified as a stay on posting and later cancelled by the Collector and District Education Officer in February 2023. Since the grievance was redressed, the writ petition was disposed of without further decision.
