The petitioner is presently working as Head Constable (Driver) in the Central Industrial Security Force. He has filed this writ petition aggrieved by his transfer from Cochin to New Delhi. The petitioner contends that as he has moved the authorities for voluntary retirement with effect from 27-4-2009, his transfer to Delhi is illegal. When the writ petition came up for hearing today Sri.P.Paramesawaran Nair, the learned Assistant Solicitor General brought to my notice a copy of order dated 24-11-2008 issued by the Inspector General of the Central Industrial Security Force whereby the Inspector General has stayed the petitioner’s transfer to New Delhi till he proceeds on voluntary retirement. In view of the order passed by the Inspector General of the Central Industrial Security Force on 24-11-2008, this writ petition has become infructuous. It is accordingly closed as infructuous.
