JUDGMENT Aggrieved by the order passed by the University, refusing to extend the time for completing the disciplinary proceedings against the third respondent beyond three months, this writ petition was filed. It is submitted by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that subsequently, disciplinary proceedings have been completed which was taken up before the University Appellate Tribunal. Finally, this Court in C.R.P.No.1181/2005 has already decided the issue, modifying the punishment. The punishment of compulsory retirement imposed on the revision petitioner (3rd respondent herein) has been converted into one of voluntary retirement and therefore, in the light of the above order, no further orders are called for in the writ petition. The writ petition is therefore, closed. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms/
