The petitioner has filed the above writ petition for quashing the Order No.TMML/PO/1109/89, dated 22.12.2000, passed by the respondent, reverting the petitioner from the post of Junior Chemist, in which he was initially appointed, to that of Junior Technician (Lab). The petitioner had been appointed as Junior Chemist, on 19.1.90 and he was confirmed in the said post by an order, dated 29.4.92. On 15.2.2000, a Show Cause-cum-Suspension Order was issued to the petitioner on the ground that he had violated the leave Rules by remaining absent from 17.12.99, without prior permission and without submitting a proper medical certificate. It was also stated that he had given false information in his leave application and thus he had violated Clause 44(48) of the Standing Orders of the respondent, amounting to misconduct. Even though the petitioner had submitted an explanation, on 21.2.2000, stating the reasons for his absence on 15.3.2000, an Enquiry Officer had been appointed and on 6.4.2000, the enquiry was conducted. In spite of the petitioner filing a written statement explaining the facts in detail, along with the supporting https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ documents, the Enquiry Officer had given his findings on 4.5.2000. Thereafter, no orders were passed and therefore, the petitioner was compelled to file a writ petition before this Court in W.P.No.16098 of 2000. By an order, dated 21.9.2000, the writ petition had been disposed of directing the respondent to pass orders within twelve weeks. After two months a second show cause notice had been issued to the petitioner asking him to show cause as to why he should not be removed from service. The petitioner had submitted a reply, dated 11.12.2000, stating that he was not guilty of the charge. However, on 22.12.2000, the respondent had passed the impugned order, reverting the petitioner from the post of Junior Chemist, in which he was initially appointed, to the post of Junior Technician (Lab), which is a Class -IV post. In such circumstances, the petitioner had filed the present writ petition, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, challenging the impugned proceedings of the respondent, dated 22.12.2000. 3. At this stage of the hearing of the writ petition, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner had submitted that the writ petition is covered by an order, dated 3.3.2008, passed by a Division Bench of this Court in W.A.Nos.225 and 372 of 2006 and W.A.No.1970 of 2001. The learned counsel had further submitted that the reliefs prayed for by the petitioner had been granted and therefore, no further orders are required to be passed in the present writ petition. 4. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent had not refuted the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner. 5. In such circumstances, the above writ petition stands closed, as no further orders are required to be passed in the writ petition. No costs. csh Sd/- Assistant Registrar / True Copy / Sub.
