OJC No. 17751 of 1997 07. 24.04.2017 Learned counsel for the petitioner states that his file is not traceable. On being permitted, he has gone through the Courts record. We are of the opinion that in view of the order dated 22.1.1998 passed by this Court, in all probability, nothing survives in this petition. This matter has been pending for the last more than twenty years. In view of the nature of the prayer that has been made, we are of the opinion that the matter has become infructuous. The petition is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. However, liberty is given to the petitioner that in case any cause of action s urvives, it may approach the authority concerned for redressal of his grievances or file an ap plication for recall of this order. .......
