A bare analysis of the order and judgment referred to above indicates that the petition preferred by the petitioner was disposed of by the Writ Court with a direction to respondent authorities to finalize the filling of the available vacancies of Junior Statistical Assistants under promotion quota without any further delay, preferably within a period of eight weeks. The petition at hand is pending over a decade. None is present either on behalf of the petitioner to point out if anything actually survives in the matter. That being so, the Court is choice less but to dismiss the petition for non-prosecution. (ARUN PALLI) CHIEF JUSTICE SRINAGAR 17-04-2026 Aamir
