Ms.Charu Tuli, Senior DAG, Punjab. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner, who is said to have unfortunately passed away during the pendency of this writ petition, sought a mandamus to direct the respondents to grant him the pay scale of Lecturer Engineering. The petitioner was working as a Foreman Instructor in the Government Polytechnic, Hoshiarpur at the time of filing of this writ petition. It appears from the stand taken by the respondents that the Lecturer's pay scale could not be granted to the petitioner as no promotional channel to the post of Lecturer from the post of Foreman. Has been provided. Ms.Charu Tuli, learned Senior Deputy Advocate General, C.W.P.No .15041 of 1993 2 Punjab, submits that even before his death, the petitioner had retired on attaining the age of superannuation and all the retiral dues stood paid to him. In view of the facts and circumstances noticed above, it appears that the issue raised in this writ petition no longer survives. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of as having become infructuous. However, liberty is granted to the legal representatives of the deceased- petitioner to seek its revival, if so required, within a period of six months from the date a certified copy of this order is issued.
