J U D G M E N T The petitioners approached this Court seeking for a direction mainly to effect promotions to the post of Deputy Collectors and for a direction to draw up a seniority list of Deputy Tahsildars and Tahsildars settled as per Ext.P1 proceedings. The petitioners subsequently filed CMP.No.17811/2001 complaining that their juniors are being promoted and therefore the respondents have a duty to promote them also. On 30-3-2001, urgent notice was also ordered in the above CMP. It appears that the 2nd petitioner has retired from service already going by the age mentioned in the affidavit. Therefore, the writ petition has become infructuous and the same is dismissed. This will be without prejudice to the rights of the petitioners to seek appropriate reliefs from the competent authorities if they have got any subsisting grievances. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE.
