104 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP-1683-2002 Date of Decision:17.09.2025 Pramod Rani and another …Petitioners vs. State of Punjab and others …Respondents Coram : Hon’ble Mr. Justice N.S.Shekhawat Present : Mr. Gurbachan Singh Bhatia, Advocate (through VC) for the petitioners. Mr. Surya Kumar, AAG, Punjab. *** N.S.Shekhawat J. (Oral) 1. The petitioners had filed the present petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India with a prayer to issue a writ in the nature of mandamus to direct the respondents to consider the candidature of the petitioners for their selection and appointment as P.T.I as they were fully eligible and qualified for their selection and appointment. 2. From a bare reading of the relief claimed in the instant petition, it is apparent that the present petition has been rendered infructuous by efflux of time and learned counsel for the petitioners is not in a position to controvert the same. 3. In view of the above, nothing survives in the present petition and the same is ordered to be dismissed.
