HON’BLE SHRI G.S.SINGHVI, THE CHIEF JUSTICE WRIT PETITION No.24493 OF 1995 Between: Mir Hyder Ali . . .Petitioner AND Osmania University and another . . .Respondents :: ORDER :: Counsel for the respondents : Shri K.Srikanth for Shri Deepak Bhattacharjee Dated: 21st March, 2007 In this petition, the petitioner has prayed for issue of mandamus to the respondents to allow him to continue in the service of University College of Engineering, Osmania University, Hyderabad as Technician Grade III till attaining the age of 60 years. Although no one has appeared for the petitioner, I do not consider it proper to defer the adjudication of the writ petition because the same is pending for the last twelve years. Shri K.Srikanth appearing for Osmania University says that in view of interim order passed by this Court, the petitioner was allowed to continue in service up to the age of 60 years. Learned counsel also gave out that as was done in the cases of other employees, who continued in the University service up to the age of 60 years by virtue of interim orders passed by the Court, monetary benefits paid to the petitioner will not be recovered. In view of the statement made by the learned counsel, the writ petition is disposed of as infructuous. G.S.SINGHVI, CJ 21st March, 2007. kvni
