Learned counsel for the respondent- Osmania University submitted that the writ petition is rendered infructuous. This is for the reason that the petitioner had sought directions to retain and continue him in service as laboratory attendant till he attains the age of 60 years. The grievance of the petitioner was that he was sought to be superannuated at the age of 58 years on 08-06-1995. The notice impugned in the writ petition is dated 02-06-1995, showing his date of retirement as 30-06- 1995. The interim relief claimed by the petitioner is for suspension of operation of the said retirement notice, dated 02-06-1995. From the order, dated 19-06- 1995, it would appear that interim suspension was granted while directing notice. Thus, petitioner had the benefit of the relief as prayed for to continue till the age of 60 years. Nothing survives for consideration in the instant writ petition. Same is accordingly directed to be closed for the reasons as noted above. __________________ 10-02-2005. Lrkm. To 1. The Registrar, Osmania University, Hyderabad 2.
