ORDER
This writ petition has been filed seeking direction to the 2nd respondent to sponsor the name of the petitioner under the Backward Class Physically Handicapped (Ortho Category) to the 1st respondent, and consequently direct the 1st respondent to appoint the petitioner to the vacant position for the post of Assistant Medical Officer (SIDDHA) under the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) Scheme.
2. Today the matter is listed under the caption "EB not available cases". The counsel for the writ petitioner is unable to produce the case papers, and there is no appearance on behalf of the respondents.
3. However, the official digital records from the E-Court system are placed before this Court for perusal. On a careful examination of the prayer and the dynamic status reflected in the digital records, it is evident that nothing survives for adjudication in this matter at this point of time.
4. The contractual/temporary nature of appointments under the NRHM Scheme, coupled with the significant passage of time, renders the specific relief
WP.No.4964 of 2011
for appointment ungrantable at this stage.
5. Accordingly, this writ petition stands dismissed. No costs. Connected miscellaneous petitions, if any, are closed. 28-10-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No Sni To
