RESPONDENTS CORAM:HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI, CHIEF JUSTICE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH Present: None for the petitioners. Mr. J.S.Puri, Addl. A.G. Punjab. *** RANJAN GOGOI, CJ (Oral) In the writ petition in para 3, it is stated that the petitioners had joined service in the month of February, 1971. It would, therefore, be obvious that the petitioners have retired from service by this time. If that be so, the prayers made in the writ petition have become academic. The writ petition is, accordingly, closed as having become infructuous. ( RANJAN GOGOI ) CHIEF JUSTICE ( AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH ) JUDGE February 23, 2011 pj
