The learned Govt. Pleader, on instruction, submits that in the ad hoc DPC meeting held on 1.4.2008, the petitioner's seniority over the 3rd respondent has been restored. As the department itself has redressed the grievance of the petitioner, there is no reason to adjudicate the claim on merits. Recording the submission of the learned Govt. Pleader, the writ petition is therefore, closed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
