HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.12722 of 2000 ORDER: The order under challenge, in this writ petition, is the proceedings of the third respondent dated 05.07.2000 placing the petitioner under suspension. This Court, by order in WPMP.No.16206 of 2000 dated 29.09.2000, granted interim suspension of the order of suspension and, as a result, the petitioner continued to remain in service. From the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, it is evident that the petitioner was aged 53 years when he filed the writ petition in the year 2000. He would now be 63 years and, as such, would have retired from service. I see no reason at this stage to adjudicate upon the validity of the order of suspension. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed as infructuous. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:22.07.2010 usd
