THE UNION OF INDIA through the Director General, Department of Posts, Government of India, New Delhi- 110001. 2. The Chief Post Master General, Bihar Circle, Patna- 800001. 3. The Post Master General, Northern Region, Muzaffarpur. 4. The Director of Postal Services, Northern Region, Muzaffarpur. 5. The Senior Superintendent of Post Offices, Muzaffarpur, Division, Muzaffarpur. ----------- 2 14.03.2011 The present writ application has been filed against the order dated 21.1.2011 passed in O.A. No.349 of 2009, whereby posting of the petitioner as SDI (P), South Sub. Division, Chapra has been cancelled on the ground of pendency of disciplinary proceeding. It is relevant to mention here that the disciplinary proceeding was ended with imposition of major penalty of reduction by two stages in the scale of pay, against which the petitioner has chosen to file a separate O.A., i.e. O.A. No. 241 of 2009 which is still pending. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that O.A. No. 349 of 2009 had been filed after the petitioner has chosen to question the order passed by the disciplinary authority in O.A. No.241 of 2009. Under the above circumstance, we are of the opinion that the case of the petitioner in O.A. No.349 of 2009 has become infructious. Accordingly, this writ application is dismissed having become infructuous with a liberty to the petitioner to agitate the 2 matter in O.A. No.241 of 2009 which is still pending before the Tribunal in accordance with law, and the Tribunal is directed to dispose of the aforesaid O.A. as early as possible. Abhay Kumar ( T.
