DATED : 5/7/2011 P.C.: Learned counsel for the petitioner states that appeal has been filed before the AAIFR on 29/6/2011. In view of this, in our opinion, the petition need not be kept pending as it has become infructuous. 2. We had granted ad-interim relief in terms of prayer clause (c) on 14/6/2011 which has expired today. In view of the fact that appeal has been filed before the AAIFR, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the 2 mss OSWP966 case of either side, we extend the ad-interim relief for a period of two weeks from today so that the petitioner can approach AAIFR for grant of interim relief, if it is so advised and if such an application is made AAIFR shall consider it on its own merits independently and in accordance with law expeditiously. 3. We make it clear that, we have not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case. All contentions of all parties are kept open. 4. Capt. K.
