No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “1. That this is an application for issuance of an appropriate writ/writs, direction/directions to the respondents authorities to release immediately the increment of the petitioner which has been withheld from 1997 without any reason and rhyme and without any order notice/information to the petitioner and further direction to the respondent authorities to release the dues of increment of the petitioner with interest immediately.” Counsel for respondent nos. 2 to 4 has informed this court that the increments of the petitioner were withheld on account of 2 pendency of departmental proceeding but the departmental proceeding has been concluded and the petitioner has been exonerated by an order passed by the competent authority on 28.3.2006. There is no rejoinder to the said stand taken of the respondents by the petitioner and therefore it appears that the grievance raised by the petitioner in this writ application seems to have been redressed. That being so, this writ application is dismissed as having become infructuous. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
