JUSTICE S.S.SARON PRESENT: Mr.Sanjiv Bansal, Advocate for the petitioner Mr.G.S.Bajwa, Advocate for the respondents Mr.Bajwa has placed on record the order dated 28.8.2006 whereby the status of the petitioner has been restored from the date of the passing of the order. The further grievance of the petitioner now is that since the status of the petitioner has been restored, he is entitled to all consequential benefits and restoration of the status from the date when the earlier order was passed on 14.9.2004. We have perused the order passed by the respondents-Board and notice that the respondents have only restored the status of the petitioner pursuant to the observations made by this Court and the order has been made, subject to the final decision of this writ petition. We are not in a position to conclude that the claim of the petitioner has been conceded. The respondents have merely shown grace and passed an appropriate :2: order. We are satisfied that the writ petition has been rendered infructuous. The petitioner is at liberty to resort to any other alternative remedy that may be available to the petitioner. Disposed of.
