The petitioner is stated to be engaged on outsource basis. 2. Learned counsel for respondent No.2 submits that the petitioner is not maintainable. The Court stands informed that during the pendency of the petition, the petitioner has been reengaged. However, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the services of the petitioner are being terminated intermittently and now he has been posted at Shimla, though previously, he was posted at Hamirpur. 3. In light of the fact that the main relief prayed for in the writ petition stands frustrated as the petitioner has been reengaged, as prayed for, this petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to approach the Court afresh with regard to his present grievances, but this liberty is of course subject to the objection taken by the respondents qua maintainability, which issue is left open. Pending miscellaneous application(s), if any, also stand disposed of accordingly. (Ajay Mohan Goel) Judge April 20, 2026 (Shivank Thakur)
