JUDGMENT This writ petition is filed seeking settlement of retiral benefits. At the time of retirement, the petitioner was facing disciplinary action. This Court issued an interim order on 10-6- 1999 on C.M.P.No.12895/1999 directing completion of disciplinary proceedings within a period of three months or to release the entire retiral benefits in case of non-completion of disciplinary proceedings as directed above. Following the aforesaid interim order, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the Electricity Board issued Proceedings No.EBVS.7/3/98 dated 10-8-1999 dropping the disciplinary proceedings and holding that there is no liability outstanding against the petitioner. The period spent by him under suspension was also directed to be treated as eligible leave. Under such circumstances, as rightly pointed out by the learned OP7695/99 -: 2 :- counsel for the petitioner, nothing survives in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly closed.
