THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA W.P.No.23023 of 2000 ORDER The petitioner approached this Court and filed this writ petition with the following prayer; ‘to issue an order or writ one in the nature of writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not sanctioning the annual increments due for the months of August, 1999 and 2000 to the petitioner, as arbitrary, illegal, unjust, constitutional and consequently direct the respondents to sanction the said annual increments and future increments and pass such other order or orders’. 2. As the prayer of the petitioner is for sanction of annual increments due for the months of August, 1999 and 2000, this Court is of the view that the said increments must have been settled at this length of time and as such, the cause in the writ petition does not survive. Further, even according to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner is not in service as on date. In those circumstances, I see no merits in this writ petition. 3. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. _________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J Date:25.11.2010 sj
