ORDER
Date : 09-10-2026 Heard Mr. P. Handique, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Ms. H. Terangpii, learned Standing Counsel, Secondary Education Department, appearing for the respondent No. 1, and Mr. A. Deka, learned counsel appearing for the respondent No. 7. The petitioner has challenged the statement of marks awarded by the State Selection Board in connection with the selection for appointment to the post of Principal of Howajan Higher Secondary School. The Division Bench of this Court, in W.A. No. 231/2024, vide judgment and order dated 02.04.2025, observed that the decision taken by the State Selection Board in its meeting held on 26.11.2020 had already been interfered with by the Government and that a fresh recommendation had been sought vide communication dated 03.08.2022. The said observations pertain to the same selection process which is the subject matter of challenge in the present writ petition. In view of the aforesaid subsequent developments, the challenge in the present writ petition does not survive for consideration. Accordingly, the writ petition stands closed as infructuous.
