Writ Petition has thereby become infructuous and is liable to be disposed of.
4. Learned Counsel for the Petitioners submits that in fact there is a Notification bearing No.44/GEN/DOP, dated 27-10-2015, of the Department of Personnel, Administrative Reforms, Training and Public Grievances, Government of Sikkim, which allows persons who are in the last year of their graduation programme to appear for the examinations. The Respondent No.2 vide various Notices issued for the purposes of this examination have not specified as to whether the 2015 Notification has been superseded. Hence, this issue is yet to be adjudicated upon.
5. Considered submissions.
6. I have perused the pleadings in the Writ Petition with regard to the Notification of 2015. There are no prayers made in the Writ Petition with regard to the Notification or other details thereto. In such circumstances, the submissions of Learned Counsel for the Petitioners with regard to the Notification of 2015 cannot not be countenanced.
7. Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly.
8. In such circumstances, nothing restrains the Respondent No.2 from declaring the final results of the selection process.
9. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.
