IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.14212 of 1992 Decided on : 04.05.2010 Dr. Dhanwant Kaur ... Petitioner versus State of Punjab ... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.KUMAR Present : None for the petitioner. Mr. Suvir Sehgal, Addl. AG, Punjab for the respondent. **** 1. To be referred to the reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? *** M.M.KUMAR, J. The instant petition has been filed by the petitioner against a reversion order dated 16.10.1992 (Annexure P-2) passed by Secretary, Health & Family Welfare, Punjab whereby the petitioner was reverted from the post of Assistant Professor, Anaesthesia to Senior Lecturer, Anaesthesia. When the matter came up for motion hearing on 29.10.1992, a Division Bench of this Court had stayed her reversion till further orders. After various adjournments and awaiting for filing of written statement, the writ petition was admitted on 27.07.1993 and the interim order was continued. It is obvious that the petitioner continued to work on the post of Assistant Professor, Anaesthesia. Learned State counsel has stated that the petitioner has retired on 31.03.2009 from the post of Professor and Head of Department, Anaesthesia, Medical College, Patiala and therefore no useful purpose would be served by adjudicating for reasons which necessitated her reversion. He has further submitted that the writ petition in fact has been rendered infructuous and be disposed of as CWP No.14212 of 1992 -2- such. The instant petition is disposed of as having been rendered infructuous. May 04, 2010 (M.M.KUMAR) sonia JUDGE
