Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

now, it is at the stage of filling of stray vacancies. At that point of time, there is no

¶37

question of considering NRI quota.

¶38

In view of the above, nothing survives in this writ petition and

accordingly, this writ petition stands dismissed. No costs. Connected W.M.Ps are

closed.
