THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH W.P. No.5770 of 2001 ORDER: It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that having regard to the fact that the writ petition is filed claiming that the petitioners are entitled to voluntary retirement, which was rejected by the respondents on the ground that they do not fall within the cut-off date and now the petitioners, on attaining the age of superannuation, have retired from service. Therefore, the subject matter of the writ petition has become infructuous. From a perusal of the proceedings, no interim order has been granted by this Court and the age of the petitioners shown in the writ petition within the range of 50 and 56. Therefore, by virtue of age of superannuation, all of them have retired from the service. Accordingly, recording the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, without going into the merits of the case, this writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH Date: 02.12.2010 LSK
