(Oral) This Civil Writ Petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India prays for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus seeking directions to the respondents not to retrench the petitioner from the post of Salesman. Detailed facts are not required to be considered. The Haryana State Federation of Consumers' Cooperative Wholesale Stores Limited (for short 'Confed') had suffered losses. A large number of Salesmen were surplus and, therefore, had to be retrenched. Civil Writ Petition No. 17834 of 2001 2 Hence the present writ petition. At the time of admission of the case, no stay was granted, as is evident from order dated 8.11.2001. Learned counsel for the respondent-Confed states that petitioner-Jagdish Chander was retrenched, however, has been adjusted on an alternate post as Clerk in the Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited. In view of the statement made on behalf of the respondent- Confed, this petition is rendered infructuous and is disposed of as such. March 17, 2009 ( AJAI LAMBA ) Kang JUDGE
