The State of Rajasthan and Others Date of Order ::: 25.03.2010 Present Hon'ble Mr. Justice Mohammad Rafiq Shri M.K. Sharma, Counsel for petitioner Shri S.D. Khaspuria, Additional Government Counsel for respondents #### By the Court:- This writ petition was filed by petitioner Chandanmal Nawal, who was member of Rajasthan Police Service, apprehending denial of or delay in his permission to Indian Police Service on account of adverse remarks recorded in his Annual Performance Appraisal Report of the year 1996-97, which was conveyed to him by order dated 21.05.1997, when case of petitioner became ripe for considering for promotion to IPS cadre. He by way of abandoned caution filed an application before this Court that because of the said adverse report the respondents may not consider his case for promotion. Learned Additional Government Counsel appearing for respondent State however gave out that in case SBCWP864/1998 // 2 // the petitioner falls under zone of consideration, his case would be considered and decided in accordance with law. The Court disposed of the application filed by petitioner by ordering accordingly. Learned counsel for petitioner has now informed the court that petitioner was not only promoted to IPS cadre in that very selection process but also retired from service. In the circumstances, nothing survives to be decided in present writ petition because petitioner was considered for promotion despite said adverse remarks and it was not because of any specific order passed by this Court but on account of understanding of law of respondents. However, it is made clear that mere decision of this writ petition would not be a reason to withdraw any benefit from the petitioner. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of.
