The same was passed against the petitioner pending departmental inquiry. By now, the issue regarding suspension of the SCA/1231/1997 2/2 JUDGMENT petitioner would have become infructuous. In fact, learned advocate Shri Hasurkar for the petitioner also submits that to his recollection, the petitioner had conveyed to him orally that he has since been reinstated. Therefore, no useful purpose would be served in examining the legality of the suspension order. The petition is therefore disposed of as having become infructuous. Learned advocate Shri Hasurkar, however, submitted that at the relevant time the petitioner was not even paid the subsistence allowance. If such issue is still outstanding, it will be open for the petitioner to take up the same with the Authorities or urge the same before the competent Court in accordance with law. Subject to the above observations, the petition is disposed of. Rule is discharged with no order as to costs. (Akil Kureshi, J.) (vjn)
