IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10461 of 2002 DR.UPENDRA SHARMA, Son of Late Shri Baikunth Bihari Singh, at present posted Superintendent, State Health Store, Gulzarbagh, Patna. ....................................... Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. Commissioner-cum-Secretary, Health Department, Bihar, Patna. 3. Joint Secretary, Health Services, Bihar, Patna. 4. Under Secretary to the Government, Department of Health, Government of Bihar, Patna. ....................... Respondent 1st Party 5. Dr. Keshav Prasad Singh, Civil Surgeon-cum-Chief Medical Officer, Siwan now promoted at Regional Deputy Director, Health Services, Munger Division, Munger. ....................... Respondent 2nd Party. ----------- 3 24/6/2010 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present and points out from the counter affidavit that the petitioner has already been superannuated on 30.9.2003 and therefore grievance of the petitioner as with regard to his posting in the circumstances has lost its meaning. Considering the fact that the petitioner has already retired from service and cannot be posted on the higher post, the relief sought in this writ application has been rendered academic. That being so, this Court must hold that this writ application has become infructuous and it is accordingly dismissed. Abhay Kumar ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
