No. 30530 OF 2003 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of April, 2008. J U D G M E N T Petitioner approached this court challenging the barring of one increment for a period of three months without cumulative effect. The petitioner has already retired from service. The barring of an increment for three months without cumulative effect does not cause any irreparable injury on the petitioner since after three months, the effect of the increment barred will be restored. Therefore, nothing survives in this writ petition at this distance of time, since the petitioner has retired from service. As far as regularisation of suspension period is concerned, it is made clear that the subsistence allowance if paid, shall not be recovered. The writ petition is disposed of as above. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. ps
