Petitioner nos. 1, 3, 7, 8 and 9 are drawing pension on the post of Executive Engineer and there is no information with regard to petitioner nos. 4 and 6. There is inherent presumption that even they must have also been getting similar kind of benefit. It is a very old matter. Now this writ application has remained academic only and does not require any adjudication by this Court without any substantial call out in terms of benefit. In view of the same, this writ application is allowed to rest. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
