JUDGMENT
S. Manikumar, C. J.
Being aggrieved by the interim order passed by the Kerala Lok
Ayukta in complaint No. 1314 of 2014 dated 29.10.2014, instant writ
petition is filed.
2. Short facts leading to the filing of the writ petition are as
under:-
2.1. According to the petitioner, he is a regular and permanent
employee of the Kerala Agricultural University. Petitioner is
continuing on deputation for more than 12 years. Lok Ayukta, by order
dated 29.10.2014 in complaint No. 1314 of 2014, has directed that
further extension of deputation, or any fresh appointment to be given
to the petitioner, will be subject to the outcome of the complaint, and
further orders to be passed by the Lok Ayukta in the complaint.
2.2. Petitioner has submitted that the above order, passed ex-
parte, though may look innocuous, the consequence of such a
stipulation has its own serious and far reaching adverse impact on the W. P. (C) No. 29393 of 2014
career of the petitioner, inasmuch as it acts as a retarding factor in the
petitioner's fresh appointment.
3. Record of proceedings shows that while entertaining the writ
petition, on 07.11.2014, a learned Single Judge has passed the
following order:-
"Government Pleader will get instruction. Urgent notice on admission to R3 by speed post returnable within 10 days.
In the meanwhile, it is clarified that pending disposal of the above writ petition the respondents 1 and 2 shall not restrain the petitioner in any manner from applying for any fresh appointments in any post in the Government, other than by way of deputation in the Kerala Agricultural University, on the basis of Ext. P23 order. It is further clarified that Ext. P23 order will not stand in the way of considering the petitioner for appointment in any fresh post in the Government."
4. On this day, when the matter came up for hearing, by inviting
the attention of this Court to the final order passed in the complaint,
Ms. Sumathi Dandapani, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the
petitioner, submitted that in view of the closure of the complaint,
nothing survives in this writ petition filed against the interim order.
5. Final order passed by the Lok Ayukta in complaint No. 1314
of 2014 dated 15.06.2015, reads thus:- W. P. (C) No. 29393 of 2014
"Mr. Kharim has made available for our perusal a copy of the order passed by the Hon'ble High Court in WP (C) No.29393 of 2014, a writ petition filed by the 4 th respondent wherein the Hon'ble High Court has observed that it is open to the 4 th respondent to seek appointment in any fresh post in the Government other than continuance of the deputation which is opposed by the complainant. Advocate Sanjay Mohan on behalf of the complainant's counsel Mr. Deepak submits that the complainant's grievance has now been redressed as the 4th respondent has been repatriated to his parent department. Under the above circumstances we close this complaint."
6. Order of the Lok Ayukta in complaint No. 1314 of 2014 dated
15.06.2015, shall be treated as part of record.
In view of the above order, nothing survives to be adjudicated in
the writ petition.
Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed.
