ORAL ORDER
The matter relates to selection and appointment conducted under the Advertisement of 2004 for the post of Constables. The petitioner claims right of appointments against the left over vacancies under the said advertisement.
After almost 18 years, no such relief can be granted to the petitioner, as the selection process can not be continued for such a long period. The writ petition by efflux of time has become infructuous.
This writ petition is dismissed as infructuous.
