...Petitioners

versus State of Haryana and others

...Respondents

CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN MONGA

Present:

None for the petitioners.

Mr. R.D. Sharma, DAG, Haryana.

***** ARUN MONGA, J. (ORAL) Petition was filed in the year 1999, inter alia, for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to grant the petitioners the grade of Rs.1200-2040 w.e.f. 01.01.1986 as has been granted to other categories holding the technical posts of Work Supervisor, Pump Operator and Fitter on the principle of "equal pay for equal work."

2.

Petition was admitted on 10.01.2002.

3.

When called out for hearing, there is no representation on behalf of the petitioners. It seems that by sheer effluxion of time and pendency of the writ petition for more than 22 years before this Court, it has been rendered infructuous and/or the petitioners seem to have lost interest in pursuing the same. 4.

Be that as it may, writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to file an appropriate application in case, any cause of action still survives.
