1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 3051 OF 1991 Maharashtra State Electricity Board Through the Chief Engineer, Zone Aurangabad ...Petitioner Versus Arun s/o Jagannath Nalgirkar ...Respondent ..... None for the petitioner Mr. B.B. Yenge, advocate for respondent ..... CORAM: S.S. SHINDE, J. DATED: 4TH JANUARY, 2010 PER COURT:- 1 This writ petition is directed against the order dated 19.8.1991, passed by the learned Member, Industrial Court, Solapur by which, the transfer order dated 14.8.1991, passed by the petitioner, thereby transferring the respondent, came to be stayed. 2 I have perused the contents of the petition as well as the annexures thereto. I have also heard learned counsel appearing for the respondent. The respondent was transferred from Latur to Madanpuri and accordingly aggrieved by the said transfer, the 2 complaint (ULP) No. 307 of 1991 was filed before the Industrial Court, Solapur. It appears that the impugned order is in the nature of interlocutory order passed by the Industrial Court, during pendency of the main complaint. Aggrieved by the said order, this writ petition is filed by M.S.E.B., through the Chief Engineer. This Court, by order dated 25.9.1991, has issued Rule and granted interim relief. 3 Since the impugned order was stayed in the year 1991 and this matter is taken up for final hearing today. I find that, in view of the intervening period of about 19 years as well as the nature of order, which is impugned in this petition, no fruitful purpose would be served in keeping this petition pending. Since the interim order was passed after hearing both the parties as also the purpose of filing of the writ petition has already been served and thus by subsequent events, the petition has become infructuous. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of. Rule made absolute accordingly. ( S.S. SHINDE. J.) rlj/
