(Oral) The petitioner seeks a direction for amalgamation of seniority of Class-IV employees under the Punjab State (Class-IV) Service Rules, 1963, and thereafter grant consequential benefits like promotion etc. Learned State counsel, on instructions from the departmental official present in Court, informs that during the pendency of this writ petition, the petitioner has already been promoted as Inspector and as such the issue of amalgamation of seniority of Class-IV employees has rendered academic. In this view of the matter, the writ petition has been rendered C.W.P.No .1592 of 1992 (O&M) 2 infructuous and is disposed of accordingly, however, with liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh writ petition in case he has any further grievance against non-grant of promotion from the due date and/or with regard to further promotion, if so desired.
