ORAL ORDER
(PER : HONOURABLE DR. JUSTICE VINEET KOTHARI)
The appellant has filed an Affidavit requesting the Court to hear the Appeal on merits. However, we find that since the selection process pertains to the year 2014 , which has already taken place long back, no useful purpose will be served in deciding the present Appeal on merits.
We are of the considered opinion that the Appeal has become infructuous and therefore, the same is accordingly dismissed since thereafter, twice fresh recruitment process
