THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.25800 of 1996 Dated : 27-09-2005 Between: N.T.C. Employees Union. .. PETITIONERS AND The National Textile Corporation and another. .. RESPONDENTS ORDER: This writ petition has been filed by N.T.C. Employees Union seeking a direction to the respondents to promote six of its members as Grade-II Managers with effect from 01-04-1996, from which date, their Juniors were promoted. Sri P.Nageswar Sree, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents, places before this court a letter, dated 16-08-2004, addressed to him by the respondents herein, wherein it is specifically stated that all the six employees, whose cases were espoused by the N.T.C.Employees Union-petitioner for promotion as Grade-II Managers, have retired from service under a voluntary retirement scheme, that their accounts had been fully and finally settled and they were relieved from the services of the Corporation. Sri B.G.Ravindra Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, would submit that he has no instructions in the matter and it would suffice, if, the statement of the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents is recorded. In view of the submission of the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents, that all the six employees have retired under the Voluntary Retirement Scheme, their accounts had been settled in full and final and they were relieved from service, the cause in the writ petition no longer survives. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. No order as to costs. __________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J Dated: 27-09-2005 Prv
