Holding
The application is dismissed as withdrawn.
Summary
The petitioners, Ashok Kumar and Ashok Kumar Sinha, filed a writ petition seeking quashing of a 2016 letter that rejected their regularisation claim on the ground that they had completed only 233 days of service before 11‑12‑1990, and also sought consequential appointment as regular staff. Their counsel later moved that, due to the passage of time, the application had become infructuous and requested permission to withdraw it. The Court considered the request to withdraw the pending application. No substantive merits of the original reliefs were examined. The Court allowed the withdrawal and dismissed the application. Consequently, the petitioners' request for regularisation and related reliefs was left unadjudicated.
Issues considered

Subjects
