Ms. Shruti Jain Goyal, AAG, Haryana, for the applicant-respondents.

G.S.SANDHAWALIA, J. (Oral) C.M. No. 4361-CWP of 2017 Application has been filed for placing on record short reply on behalf of the respondents alongwith Annexure R-3/1. In view of the averments made in the application and in view of the fact that the advance copy has already been supplied to counsel for the petitioner, the same is allowed.

Written statement alongwith Annexure R-3/1 is taken on record.

CWP No. 14356 of 2001 In view of the affidavit of the petitioner (Annexure R-3/1), the main case is taken on Board and is being decided. Prayer in the present writ petition, which was admitted on 22.10.2001, was to allow the petitioner to exercise fresh options regarding adoption of pay scale with all allied benefits. It was his grouse at that stage that the authorities are not deciding the issue in spite of a legal notice having been served upon them on 09.06.2001 (Annexure P-4).

-2In the written statement now filed, it has been averred that the petitioner has been awarded J.S.T. Grade (higher pay scale) w.e.f. 12.12.1973 on account of acquisition of higher qualifications. Arrears of pay amounting to Rs.64,013/- were also paid to him on 09.07.1996. The petitioner retired w.e.f. 31.07.2001 and now it has been stated in the appended affidavit (Annexure R-3/1) that he is not interested to change the option and he is satisfied with the action of the respondents and he wants to withdraw the petition.

Accordingly, keeping in view the above facts, the present writ petition is disposed of as having been rendered infructuous. Since counsel for the petitioner is not present, it is made clear that it will be open to the petitioner to file an application for revival, in case he so desires if the said facts are incorrect, within a reasonable time. 17.08.2017 (G.S.
