THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 22296 of 1995 Oral order: The petitioner filed the writ petition contending that he is entitled for promotion to the category of Senior Technician in 1986, and consequential promotions in 1990 and 1994. None appear for the petitioner despite passing over the matter to 2.15 P.M. The learned Standing Counsel for the respondents submitted that during the pendency of the writ petition, the petitioner retired from service, and as such, nothing survives for adjudication in the writ petition. The submission of the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents is placed on record, and the writ petition is dismissed as having become infructuous. No costs. _________________ N.V. RAMANA, J.
