Learned counsel for the petitioner draws attention of this Court towards several Annexures and submits that the same would indicate that injustice has been committed to this petitioner. 3. However, at the outset, Mr. Anoop Kumar Mehta, learned counsel for the respondents submits that the petitioner has been promoted in a different scheme of promotion vide letter dated 30.05.2016 which is at Annexure-H to the counter-affidavit dated 22.07.2016 which he has accepted on 31.05.2016 endorsing as under : “Dear Sir, I accept the offer for the post Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, ISM, Dhanbad dated.” 4.

Having regard to the aforesaid facts and circumstances, since the petitioner has already accepted the offer for appointment to the post of Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, ISM, Dhanbad on 31.05.2016 i.e. the very next date when he was offered the same on 30.05.2016, as such, nothing remains to be adjudicated in this case. 6. Accordingly, the instant writ application is disposed of without any direction. (Deepak Roshan, J.) 15.09.2025 Amit
