...Petitioner

Versus

State of Haryana and others

...Respondents

CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN MONGA Present:- None for the petitioner.

Mr. R. K. S. Brar, Addl. AG, Haryana.

Mr.Sandeep Dhull, Advocate for respondent No.3 ARUN MONGA,J. (ORAL) Petition was filed in the year 1997, inter alia, seeking quashing of impugned order/letter dated 11.07.1997 (Annexure P-3) vide which respondent No.3 has been considered senior to him, which is illegal and against the instructions dated 10.01.1997 (Annexure P-4) . 2.

Petition was admitted on 20.01.1998.

3.

When called out for hearing, there is no representation on behalf of the petitioner. It seems that by sheer effluxion of time and pendency of the writ petition for more than 25 years before this Court, either it has been rendered infructuous or even otherwise the petitioner seems to have lost interest in pursuing the same. 4.

Since owing to the age of superannuation, petitioner has already retired, his grievance qua the promotion stands already mitigated and no further indulgence and/or proceedings are required before this Court qua the same.
