HIGH COURT OF JAMMU & KASHMIR AND LADAKH AT JAMMU CJ Court Case: CPSW No. 10/2017 in SWP No. 2010/2016 Nitesh Sharma ….. Appellant/Petitioner(s) Through: None Vs Babila Rakwal, Dir. Sch. Education and another .…. Respondent(s) Through: Ms. Saliqa Sheikh, Assisting counsel to Mr. Raman Sharma, Sr. Advocate (AAG) Coram: HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE ORDER 04.05.2026 Learned counsel for the respondents, at the outset, has drawn the attention of the Court to the averments set out in Para No. 10 of the compliance report submitted on behalf of the respondents. Per which the claim of the petitioner for promotion as Laboratory Assistant was examined by the Authorities but since he was figured at Serial No. 261 of the final seniority list (clubbed list) of Class-IV employees, it was concluded that his claim would be considered as and when the post of Laboratory Assistants are available under promotion quota as per rules. And, a detailed order No. CEOJ/legal/29640-43 dated May 22, 2019, was passed, in this regard, (Annexure-R-1). The matter is pending since 2017 and nearly a decade has gone by. None is present either on behalf of the petitioner to clarify if anything actually survives in the petition. That being so, nothing substantive survives in the petition and the same is, accordingly, disposed of as having been rendered infructuous. ( (ARUN PALLI) CHIEF JUSTICE Jammu 04.05.2026 Suraj K. Singh Sr.No. 37
