ORDER

The learned counsel for the writ petitioners made a submission that the writ petitioners are entitled for grant of retrospective promotion with reference to the Government Orders in force. However, the claim of the writ petitioners were not considered and thus, they are constrained to move the present writ petition. 2.The fact remains that the writ petitioner had attained the age of superannuation and retired from service. The grant of retrospective promotions are to be considered only after ascertaining the eligibility and other criteria fixed by the competent authority. Thus, if at all any grievance exists upon to the writ petitioner, it is left open to him to approach the competent authority for the redressal of his grievance. 3.With these observation, this writ petition stands disposed of. No costs.
