Today, learned counsel for the petitioner, on instructions received from Mr. Satbir, S.D.O., Panipat, has informed the Court that not only has the salary of the respondent No.2 already been paid, but he has also been reinstated and permitted to mark his attendance, and the awarded 10% back wages have also been paid to him. It is, therefore, submitted that, since the impugned award has already been implemented, the petitioner does not wish to press the instant writ petition.
