ORDER
12.11.2026 (M. Zothankhuma, J)
Heard Mr. A. Phukan, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. P.N. Goswami, learned Additional Advocate General, Assam and Mr. B. Choudhury, learned counsel for the respondent no.3. Mr. P.N. Goswami, learned Additional Advocate General, Assam submits that the 3rd extension of the respondent no.3 as Special Chief Secretary (Forest), Assam had come to an end yesterday, i.e. 11.11.2026. Further, the Cabinet has taken a decision not to extend the engagement of the respondent no.3 as the Special Chief Secretary (Forest), Assam or in any other capacity under the Forest Department. However, the respondent no.3 is going to re-engage on contractual basis in the Mines & Minerals Department by the Government of Assam. On considering all the above, we do not find any reason to continue with the present PIL. The PIL stands closed.
