The Accountant General, Bihar, Patna. ------- Respondent 3rd Set ----------- 4 27.7.2011 Heard Mr. P.N. Shahi, learned counsel for the petitioner. In view of the fact that the petitioner in this writ application has challenged his seniority and is no longer in 2 service, this Court would find this writ application to have become infructuous, inasmuch as, after retirement of the petitioner, the issue, relating to his seniority, will have no importance. As with regard to the claim of the petitioner for filling up of the post of Principal it must be held since he has not specifically assailed the same in this writ application the same cannot be decided by this Court. Such claim of the petitioner for also getting the promotion on the post of Principal being a subsequent event this Court would leave the petitioner now a retired person to claim monetary benefit if any by filing his representation for his notional promotion with consequential benefits. With the aforementioned observations and liberty this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
