THE STATE OF JHARKHAND THROUGH CHIEF SECRETARY, JHARKHAND. …………………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 5 06.10.2010 Heard learned counsel for the State of Bihar, State of Jharkhand and the Advisory Committee. No one appears for the petitioner. From the order dated 04.11.2009, it appears that, as the petitioner was going to superannuate in December, 2009 she challenged the memo dated 8.8.2009, by which her services were allocated to the Jharkhand State. Considering the proximity of date of her superannuation, this Court directed the respondents to file counter affidavit in the case and also stayed the operation of the said memo dated 8.8.2009. Obviously, therefore, on the strength of the interim 2 order of this Court, petitioner continued as employee of the State of Bihar and has superannuated as such. In the circumstances, the writ application has apparently become infructuous and the same is dismissed. However, petitioner will be entitled to all other retiral benefits in the capacity of an employee of the State of Bihar as she continued as such till her superannuation on the basis of interim order passed by this Court.
