Managing Director, Haryana State Minor Irrigation Tubewell Corp. Ltd. & Anr. . . . . Respondents **** CORAM : HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT **** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? **** Present: None **** SURYA KANT J. (ORAL) (1). This writ petition was directed against the order dated 20.11.1989 (Annexure P4) whereby the Management of the respondent-Corporation decided to retire the petitioner from service on attaining the age of superannuation i.e. 58 years. The petitioner’s contention was that he was entitled to continue in service till 30.12.1991 i.e. upto the age of 60 years. (2). On May 29, 1996, this Court passed the following orders:- “To come up after the decision in SLP Nos.9165 to 9169 of 1996. Recovery of the arrears is stayed. CWP No.8214 of 1991.doc - 2 – The learned counsel for the respondents has undertaken before us that in the eventuality of the writ petition being allowed, the entire arrears of salary etc. will be paid provided the petitioner is not gainfully employed and this objection can be raised by the respondents.” (3). It appears that the petitioner is no longer interested to continue with this petition as he remained in service till the age of 60 years. (4). Since the petitioner attained the age of 60 years way back during the pendency of this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same as having become infructuous with a direction that no recovery shall be effected from the petitioner. (5). Ordered accordingly. Dasti. 13.09.2011 vishal shonkar (S u r y a K a n t) Judge 2
