HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI WRIT PETITION No.21929 of 2004 ORDER:

When the matter is taken up for hearing, counsel for petitioner submits that the petitioner is challenging the orders of punishment imposed by the disciplinary authority and also the orders of appellate authority in confirming the orders passed by the disciplinary authority, vide orders dated 19.10.2004.

The punishment imposed on the petitioner is reduction to a lower post as a Turner for a period of three years and the punishment of reduction to a lower post of Turner itself has worked out and the currency of punishment period is also over and the petitioner has attained the age of superannuation during the pendency of this writ petition. Therefore, this Court is of the considered view that the cause in the present writ petition does not survive as the petitioner's position has been restored to original post immediately after three years of currency of punishment. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. ______________________________ ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI, J 26th December 2018 ajr
