Learned counsel for the petitioners, however, submits that by virtue of interim order passed by this Court at the time of admission of the writ petition, they were granted necessary scales of pay except petitioners 22 and 23. Therefore, it confines the relief to only petitioners 22 and 23. 3. However, the learned counsel for the Beverages Corporation Limited submits that the aforesaid two persons have subsequently filed another Writ Petition No.17176 of 2001 and that was disposed of. In pursuance of the disposal of the said writ petition, the Corporation issued Circular No.A4/91/98/242, dated 05.3.2002 implementing the directions contained in the said order. Under these circumstances, the learned counsel submits that nothing survives in the earlier petition in view of the fact that the petitioners 22 and 23 again filed the writ petition seeking same relief and in pursuance of the order passed in the said writ petition, no further orders are necessary in this writ petition. 4. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. Further, it is made clear that if the petitioners 22 and 23 are entitled for some more amounts, it is open for them to make appropriate representation to the authorities and the same shall be considered and dispose of in accordance with law. _________________ G.BIKSHAPATHY,J Date: 02nd December 2004.
