AFZULPURKAR W.P.No.18003 of 1998 O R D E R: On 08-08-2008, when this matter was taken up, this Court passed the following order: “This writ petition is filed seeking a relief, inter alia, that the petitioners are entitled to continue in services up to the age of 60 years and the impugned notice seeking to retire the petitioners on 30-06-2008 on attaining 58 years was challenged. This Court granted interim suspension while admitting the writ petition by order dated 29-06-1998. The petitioners accordingly must have continued in service on the basis of the interim suspension. However, the ultimate relief sought for by them is to remain in services up to 60 years, which, even if allowed, would have expired on 30-06-2000. The matter appears to be infructuous and that explains non-appearance of the petitioners. Post next week, ‘for orders’.” 2. Today also none appears for the petitioners. 3. In the circumstances, this writ petition is dismissed for non- prosecution. No costs. ________________ 14-08-2008 kvr
