JUDGMENT It is submitted by the learned counsel on either side that with the passage of time, the interim order passed on 18-8-2004 had essentially taken care of the practical problems and the petitioner and the 4th respondent have retired from service. Hence, without prejudice to their right to draw retiral benefits as if they retired from the posts from which they superannuated on the strength of the interim order dated 18-8-2004, this writ petition is closed.
