                    Petitions for Special Leave to Appeal (Civil) Nos. 147-151 of 1987

                                             (A. P. Sen, V. B. Eradi JJ)

                                                      01.04.1987

                                                        ORDER

1. As the respondent U. P. Rajya Krishi Utpadhan Mandi Parishad has complied with the direction
of the High Court for reconsideration of the cases of the petitioner before the High Court for
absorption to the posts of Mandi Secretaries in the Centralised Services as provided by Regulation
19 of the U. P. Agricultural Produce Market Committee (Centralised) Service Regulations, 1984, the
questions raised in these petitions no longer survive. That apart, even on merits, we cannot share the
view expressed by the High Court that the Committee appointed under Regulation 19 of the Service
Regulations had no power to delegate the function of selection of candidates to a Member. Indeed,
the High Court should not have entertained the writ petition much less interfered with the selection
of candidates. Be that as it may, the direction of the High Court having been complied with, the
questions raised are now purely academic. The Committee will now pronounce the list of the
selected candidates made pursuant to the direction of the High Court within ten days from today. If
the petitioner are aggrieved by the selection, they are at liberty to resort to such remedy as they may
have under the law.

2. Special leave petitions are dismissed accordingly.
