Bombay High Court

VIJAYKUMAR TARACHAND RATHODversusAMOL YEDGE THE CHIE EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petitions were disposed of as the petitioners had already been given postings, leaving no relief to grant.

Summary

The petitioners filed contempt petitions seeking that they be given postings in the Department of Information Technology. The respondent, the Director of IT, submitted a communication dated 19 September 2019 indicating that postings would be made as per availability. The court examined whether any relief remained for the petitioners after this communication. Finding that the petitioners had indeed been given postings, the court held that there was nothing left to adjudicate. Consequently, the petitions were dismissed as fully disposed.

Issues considered

Whether the petitioners are entitled to be given postings in the Department of Information Technology.
Whether the court can compel the respondent to grant postings when they are allegedly already provided.
