It is submitted by the learned Standing Counsel appearing for opposite party nos.1 and 2 that considering the nature of grievance made in the original application, i.e., inter se position of the seniority of Group-B Officers of agricultural service, i.e., in the post of Assistant Agriculture Officer, nothing would survive after a long lapse of nine years.

// 2 // Having heard the learned counsel for the parties, the writ petition is disposed of due to lack of instructions from the petitioner granting liberty to revive the same within 60 days for any surviving cause of action.
