When Rule was issued in this petition on 15.1.1993, ad-interim relief was granted in favour of the petitioner in terms of paragraph 7(B), staying the order of his suspension. The tenure of the petitioner's post is over long ago and therefore, this petition has become infructuous. Rule is therefore discharged with no order as to costs. Ad-interim relief stands vacated. --- */Mohandas
