Since in the considered opinion of this Court, the aspect of life of Wait List for a period of ninety days only, will be inapplicable in the present facts and circumstances of the case where the opposite parties themselves have not yet passed any order pertaining to cancellation of appointment of opposite party no.6 and since aforesaid dispute is still pending, the life of Wail List would definitely continue till final orders are passed. 9. In case appointment of opposite party no.6 is cancelled, candidature of petitioner shall thereafter be considered in the light of Wait List and her placement therein expeditiously within a period of two weeks thereafter. 10. With aforesaid direction, the petition stands finally disposed of. September 15, 2025 kvg/- WRIA No. 10330 of 2025 2 (Manish Mathur,J.)
