JUDGMENT The claim of the petitioner was for promotion to the category of Sub Engineer. This event has happened during the pendency of this writ petition, on 3-8-2006. Without expressing anything on any claim of the petitioner for inter se seniority in the higher categories, including that of the Sub Engineer, this writ petition is closed, though the case of the petitioner is that hailing from the Meter Readers' category, he is entitled to be treated by reckoning the service in that category also.
