SANKARAN, J. --------------------------------------------------- W.P.C. No 13719 of 2008 -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 5th June 2008 JUDGMENT Though the petitioner has now retired from service and therefore the relief prayed for in the writ petition does not survive, there is some grievance for the petitioner that the District Educational Officer has passed Ext P6 order contrary to and in disobeyance of the stay order passed by this court on 09.05.2008. I am not rendering any finding on that question. Leaving open the rights of the petitioner to question the propriety of passing an order like Ext P6 at the appropriate forum this writ petition is closed as the reliefs prayed for have become infructuous.
