the withdrawal of guideship has become infructuous. However, since the counsel for petitioner in the earlier hearing submitted that some of the pensionary benefits were not granted due to the inaction on the part of the fourth respondent in not forwarding necessary particulars, the petitioner is not able to get the benefits, the learned Government Advocate was directed to obtain necessary instructions in this regard.
