IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARANCHAL AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 162 (S/B) of 2001 (Old No. 23016/97) Ram Kumar Srivastava S/o Late Sri M.L. Srivastava, R/o 121 Basement, Tallital, Nainital …… Petitioner Versus State Public Service Tribunal, Indira Bharwan, Lucknow and others ….. Respondents Sri V.K. Bisht, Senior Advocate, learned counsel for the petitioner. Learned standing counsel for respondents Dated: March 07, 2006 Hon’ble P.C. Verma, J. Hon’ble B.C. Kandpal, J. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for writ of certiorari quashing the impugned judgment and order dated 06.12.1996 passed by Respondent No. 1, which is contained in Annexure No. 25 to the writ petition. 2. Today, the petitioner himself appeared before this Court and submitted that in fact the writ petition has been rendered infructuous but he wants to contest the case and want the judgment on merit to vindicate the mental agony suffered by him on account of the selection impugned. 3. This Court fully appreciates the sentiments of the petitioner but unfortunately dropped the sympathy for the reason that the Tribunal has dealt with each and every aspect of the matter and dismissed the claim petition. 4. Since the petitioner has been retired from the service, therefore, the writ petition has been rendered infructuous and is dismissed as such. No order as to costs. (B.C.Kandpal, J.) (P.C.Verma,J.)
