This instant writ petition has been filed by the writ petitioner seeking direction upon the respondents to forthwith give appointment to the petitioner as an Assistant Teacher on compassionate ground in the place of his deceased father in the same school. 2. None appears on behalf of either of the parties. No accommodation is sought for. 3. None appeared on behalf of the petitioner even on the earlier occasions. 4. This case is pending since 2007, almost 19 years have passed. 5. No affidavit-in-opposition and affidavit-in-reply have yet been filed despite direction by the Co-ordinate Bench vide order dated 17.09.2008 as per official report. 6. Considering the nature of prayer and long pendency of the case, it seems to this court that the petitioner is not interested to proceed with the case anymore on two grounds. Firstly, the purpose of filing this writ petition has been either resolved and/or secondly, 2 she has abandoned her prayer due to passage of time. 7. In view of the facts and circumstances of this case, the writ petition being WPA No. 27731 of 2007 stands dismissed without any order as to costs. 8. Connected applications, if any, are also, thus, disposed of. 9. Interim order, if any, stands vacated. 10. All parties shall act on the basis of a server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court without insisting upon production of a certified copy thereof. 11.
