Patna High Court CWJC No.13772 of 2021 dt.24-02-2022
Petitioner has questioned the validity of
re-appointment of respondent no.11 on contract basis for a
period of 11 months pursuant to the order dated 29.05.2021. The
relief column do not reveal in respect of writ of quo warranto,
despite these facts, it is noticed that respondent no.11 was not
appointed to any particular post, thereafter, he was asked to
takeover the charge of head clerk/accountant. Further,
respondent no.11 is stated to have resigned the post which was
held by him. Accordingly, writ petition do not survive for
consideration.
Hence, writ petition stands disposed of.
