NANDU RAI Vs. UNION OF INDIA AND OTHERS

JUDGEMENT

(1.) IT appears that the respondent No.2 invited applications for appointment of LPG Gas Distributor by an advertisement dated 7-9-2007 (Annexure 2 to the Writ Petition). The petitioner submitted an application dated 7-10-2007, copy whereof has been filed as Annexure 3 to the Writ Petition. From a perusal of the application of the petitioner, it appears that in Column 7.8, the petitioner was required to give reply to the query "Are you having sound Physical/Mental health ?". The reply, as given by the petitioner, to the said query was "No".

(2.) THE present Writ Petition has been filed against the said order dated 29-9-2008. We have heard Sri Yogendra Nath Rai, learned counsel for the petitioner, Miss Shikha Dixit, learned counsel for the respondent No.1 and Sri Prakash Padia, learned counsel appearing for the respondent Nos. 2 and 3, and perused the record.

(3.) SRI Prakash Padia further states that the interview pursuant to the aforesaid advertisement took place on 16th, 17th and 18th October, 2008. As the process of interview is already over, no action in the matter of the petitioner can now be taken in any view of the matter. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and having considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties, we are of the opinion that the Writ Petition lacks merit, and the same is liable to be dismissed.
