By this petition, the petitioner challenges the order passed by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal dated 4th April 2001. We have heard the learned counsel appearing for petitioner. We have also perused the record. We find that the order passed by the M.A.T. is a detailed and well considered order. It is an admitted position before us that today, the petitioner, who was holding the post of Chief Engineer, has retired from service. The learned counsel appearing for respondent No.4 states that the respondent Nos.3 to 5 have also retired from service. In view of this position, in our opinion, there is no reason to interfere with the order passed by the M.A.T. which is challenged in the petition. Petition is disposed off.
