Counsel for the State is present and has filed supplementary counter affidavit today in continuation to the stand taken in the main counter affidavit and has explained that the payment of salary as claimed by the petitioners have already been made and that on scrutiny of T.A bill 3 the admissible amount had already been paid to them. Since there is no rejoinder to the earlier counter affidavit and also no representation on behalf of the petitioners, this Court will have no option but to hold that the legitimate grievances of the petitioner have already been redressed. That being so, this application has become infructuous and is, accordingly, dismissed. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
