JUSTICE MEHINDER SINGH SULLAR Present: Mr. Nand Lal Sammi, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. R.S. Rawat, A.A.G., Punjab for the respondents-State. **** M ehinder S ingh S ullar, J. (Oral) At the very outset, learned counsel has submitted that since almost all the petitioners have already retired from service after attaining the age of superannuation, so this writ petition has become infructuous, which may be disposed of as such. In this view of the matter, the instant writ petition is disposed of, as having become infructuous, as prayed for. Needless to mention that the recovery of the amount of benefit of proficiency step up, already granted to the petitioners shall not be recovered from them.
