It is now stated by the learned Government Pleader for Services-II that the official respondents have considered the matter in pursuance of the directions given by the Tribunal and the case of the petitioner was rejected by proceedings dated 25.1.2005. In view of this, we find no further orders are necessary in the Writ Petition. 4. Accordingly the Writ Petition is closed.
