Reply has been filed along with order dated 31.08.2010, Annexure R-1. . . . 1 Civil Writ Petition No.14230 of 2010 Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners contends that because the Government has taken a policy decision, as reflected in Annexure R-1, dated 31.08.2010, to grant the pensionary benefits by counting the entire service rendered by the petitioners, the matter has been rendered infructuous. This petition is disposed of as infructuous, however, with a direction to the respondents to implement the policy within a period of 4 months after the receipt of certified copy of this order.
