                                                   AJIT B. KADETHANKAR, JJ.
                                           DATE       :   27th JULY, 2026.
                 PER COURT :-

                 1.       Though the notice is served upon the petitioner, today none

                 appears for the petitioner. Looking at the prayers it is seen that

                 the petitioner is seeking appointment in respondent No. 4

                 institution/Zilla Parishad. The petition is filed on 26.03.2017. An

                 appointment is sought pursuant to letter dated 05.03.2015.

                 2.       Considering all above, this Court finds that, prayers in the

                 petition have become infructuous.          Therefore, the writ petition

                 stands disposed of as infructuous.



                 ( AJIT B. KADETHANKAR, J.)                     ( KISHORE C. SANT, J. )
