P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ---------------------------- W.P.(C)No.5157 of 2006 ---------------------------- Dated 15th January, 2010 JUDGMENT Heard the learned counsel appearing on both sides. The grievance raised in this writ petition relates to the promotion of the petitioners which was withheld in view of a pending vigilance enquiry. The learned counsel appearing on both sides submit that in view of the interim order passed by this Court on 21.12.2009, whereby the petitioners were directed to be promoted subject to the outcome of the vigilance enquiry and as the petitioners have been thus promoted, this writ petition may be disposed of making the interim order absolute. In the light of the said submission, I dispose of this writ petition with the observation that the rights of the parties shall stand governed by the interim order dated 21.12.2009. P.N.RAVINDRAN Judge TKS
