The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner made a submission that though the petitioner was denied time bound promotion, during the relevant point of time, he had reached the age of superannuation and now receiving pension. In view of the fact that no useful purpose would be served in pursuing the matter, the adjudication became unnecessary.

2. Accordingly, the writ petition stands closed. However, there shall be no order as to costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CS VII) //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar Svn To
