Alongwith instructions memo, copy of office order dated 14.07.2023 has also been appended.
3. Since respondents No.1 to 3 have now withdrawn the promotion order assailed by the petitioner, therefore, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the relief prayed for by the petitioner stands granted to him. Learned counsel for respondent Nos. 4 to 6, 8 & 10 sought liberty to assail office order dated 14.07.2023.
4. In view of above, the petition is disposed of as having been rendered infructuous. It goes without saying that the private respondents can avail appropriate remedy against the order dated 14.07.2023, if available to them in law. All pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed of."
