J U D G M E N T The petitioner who was working as Superintendent of Police (Motor Transport) from 10.6.1993 which is evidenced by Ext.P1 order. The apparent claim in the writ petition is to consider him to be included in the select list for appointment to IPS for the year 1998. The respondents have filed a detailed counter-affidavit explaining that the petitioner was working in various posts in the Police Department under the Motor Transport Unit and they were not having any duties assigned to a police officer. It is, therefore, submitted that his request is not liable to be granted. In the light of the above stand taken by the respondents it is clear that the petitioner has no right to seek inclusion in the select list for IPS. Apart from that the petitioner has already retired from service, way back and therefore at this distance of time there is no subsisting grievance for him. For all these reasons, this Original Petition is dismissed. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE. Kvs/-
