It appears, the petitioners submitted their explanations to the said show cause notice, but simultaneously, they have approached this Court by way of filing this writ petition. On 04.09.2008, while admitting the writ petition, this Court granted interim suspension as prayed for. Thus, the show cause notice dated 25.08.2008 was suspended on 04.09.2008. However, in the counter-aﬃdavit ﬁled by the ﬁrst respondent, it is stated that he passed ﬁnal orders on 04.09.2008 itself. Therefore, W.V.M.P. No.3032 of 2008 has become infructuous. Consequently, the Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous. However, it is always open for the petitioners to challenge the ﬁnal orders passed by the ﬁrst respondent before the appropriate forum.
