In this regard, affidavit has been filed by respondents No.1 & 2, in which, it has been specifically mentioned that with the aforesaid development, the resolution which is under challenge in WPS No.2865/2020, stand cancelled, thus no deviation in the rules for promotion on the same post of different branch is now being proposed by the Housing Board & Department, therefore WPS No.2865/2020 has become infructuous, as the relief sought for has already been granted to the petitioners. 3. In reply, learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that though relief sought for under Clause-A has been granted but respondents may be directed to consider the promotion of petitioners within a period specified by this Court, as in different stream i.e. Deputy Commissioner (Civil); two promotions have already been effected in respect of similarly situated employees. 4. On the above contention, learned counsel for the respondents No.1 & 2 would submit that since there is no different rules for promotion of employees of two streams, hence the issue of promotion of petitioners shall be considered after framing regulations. 5. In view of above contentions made by learned counsel for the parties, WPS No.2865/2020 is disposed of. However, respondents are directed to consider the issue of promotion of petitioners after framing/amending regulations, preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt/submission of a copy of this order before respondents No.1 & 2. 6. Accordingly, WPS No.2865 of 2020 stands disposed of. 4 In WPS No. 8107 of 2023 1. At the outset, learned counsel appearing for the respondents No.1 & 2 would submit that the order dated 04.10.2023 passed by respondent No.2/Commissioner, Housing Board, which has been put to challenge in the instant petition, has been withdrawn in the light of resolution dated 26.03.2025 (Annexure R/A), therefore in the light of aforesaid resolution and additional affidavit filed by respondent No.2 in this regard, this petition has become infructuous as the order impugned has been withdrawn. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner conceded the aforesaid facts and in view of above contention made by learned counsel for the respondents No.1 & 2, learned Sr. Advocate appearing for petitioner also submitted that, now in aforesaid changed circumstances, this petition has rendered infructuous. 3. Having considered the aforesaid contentions of learned counsel for the parties, without going into the merits of the instant petition, the same is dismissed as having become infructuous.
