Civil Writ Petition No.1647 of 1991 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.1647 of 1991 Date of Decision: August 09, 2011 Sardari Lal & others ...Petitioners Versus State of Haryana & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: None for the petitioners. Mr. Sunil Nehra, Sr.DAG, Haryana, for the State. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioners have filed this writ petition for quashing the impugned order dated 14.11.1990 (Annexure P-6), whereby respondent No.3 was promoted as Assistant by granting him assumed date of promotion w.e.f. 3.6.1981 and for quashing of the option sought by respondent No.2, which was stated to be contrary to the Rules. This writ petition was admitted and directed to be heard along with Civil Writ Petition No.6637 of 1988. In the order dated 3.5.1991, it is recorded that stay to continue, but I find from the record that there was no order of stay passed by the Division Bench . Be that as it may, I have summoned the record of Civil Writ Petition No.6637 of 1988 with which this writ petition was ordered to be heard. Civil Writ Petition No.6637 of 1988 has been Civil Writ Petition No.1647 of 1991 -2- dismissed as infructuous on the statement made by the Deputy Advocate General, Haryana, on the ground that the petitioners have retired from service. Once the claim of the petitioners for promotion, which had been raised in Civil Writ Petition No.6637 of 1988, has been declined, apparently the petitioners may not have left with any cause to agitate. The promotion was granted to respondent No.3 w.e.f. 3.6.1981. Since the petitioners have retired, it is obvious that they would hardly be left with any grievance so far as of promotion of respondent 3 is concerned. In this view of the factual position, I am of the considered opinion that the present writ petition is also rendered infructuous and is disposed of as such.
