They have filed this writ petition seeking a direction to the first respondent herein to pass orders on Gratuity Cases, GC.No.417 of 2005 and GC.No.113 of 2006 without further delay. 2. When this writ petition came up for hearing on 14.2.2011, the learned Government Pleader was directed to get instructions as to whether Gratuity Case Nos.417 of 2005 and 113 of 2006 filed by the petitioners are still pending. Today, when the writ petition came up for further admission-hearing, the learned Government Pleader submitted on instructions that orders were passed on the Gratuity Cases filed by the petitioners on 10.8.2010. Therefore the petitioners cannot have any subsisting grievance. In such circumstances, no further orders are called for in this writ petition except to direct the first respondent to communicate copies of the orders passed on Gratuity Case Nos.417 of 2005 and 113 of 2006 to the petitioners expeditiously and in any event within two weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment.
