THE HON'BLE SMT.JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI WRIT PETITION No.34683 of 1998 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks for a writ of mandamus to declare the order dated 14.8.1998 issued by the 1st respondent as illegal, arbitrary and to set aside the same. A consequential direction was also sought to re-fix the scale of pay of the petitioner in the scale of Rs. 170-275 and to pay the arrears according to that scale immediately and to further direct the respondents to give notional promotion to the petitioner as Marketing Assistant on par with his juniors and with all consequential benefits. Heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the impugned order. By the impugned order dated 14.8.1998, the 1st respondent has rejected the representation of the petitioner dated 26.3.1998 for re-fixation of pay on the ground that since the petitioner is working as unskilled worker, he is extended the scale of Rs.165-250 and he is not entitled for Rs.170-275, which is meant for skilled workers. It is also seen from the record that pursuant to the voluntary retirement scheme introduced by the respondents, the petitioner has also applied for retirement under the said Scheme and the respondents having considered the application of the petitioner, permitted him to retire voluntarily from service. In view of the fact that the petitioner has already been retired from service, no cause of action survives in the present writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ___________________ T.MEENA KUMARI,J Date: 30.9.2010 pnb
