COMMON JUDGMENT

[Judgment of the Court was made by R.SUBRAMANIAN, J.]

The appeals are by the District Collector in his capacity as the Administrator of M.S.S.Wakf Board College, Madurai-625 020.

2. On the basis of a complaint made by one Sarthar Basha, an investigation was launched into the appointment of nearly 26 teaching staff in the said institutions by the erstwhile management. The said Sarthar Basha moved this Court by way of a writ petition, and this Court, finding total inaction on the part of the State Government, directed the investigation to be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation by its order dated 23.01.2019. It is stated that the appeal as well as the attempted Special Leave Petition against the said judgment have been dismissed.

3. Thereafter, the Central Bureau of Investigaion has, on the basis of the information received, registered an FIR on 07.03.2019. It is also learned that the Central Bureau of Investigation has filed a charge sheet against four persons, and the charge sheet is yet to be taken on file by the Magistrate for absence of sanction because one of the accused is a member of parliament. In the interregnum, the petitioners, namely the persons who were appointed filed a writ petition in W.P.(MD)No.8260 of 2023 seeking a Mandamus directing the 2^nd respondent to treat the petitioners as having successfully completed their probation in terms of Sub Section 2(1) of Rule 11 of the Tamil Nadu Private College (Regulations) Rules, 1976, read wit
