RADHAKRISHNAN & ANTONY DOMINIC, JJ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Writ Appeal No 1321 of 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dated: 7th June, 2007 JUDGMENT Radhakrishnan, J. Though notice was issued by this court on 16.06.2000 no steps have been taken to serve notice on the fourth respondent who is an affected party. Appeal is of the year 1999. In such circumstances, we find no reason to keep this appeal pending any further especially when the writ petitioner has retired from service. The appeal is therefore dismissed for non prosecution. C.M.P. No 2914 of 2000 also would stand dismissed. Sd/- K.S.RADHAKRISHNAN Judge Sd/- ANTONY DOMINIC Judge 07/06/2007 en [true copy]
