MR AMIT J SHAH for Respondent No. 1 NANAVATI & NANAVATI for Respondent No. 2 -------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : MR.JUSTICE P.B.MAJMUDAR Date of decision: 23/07/2002 ORAL JUDGEMENT The petitioner has approached this Court for the issuance of a writ of mandamus directing respondent No.1 to implement Resolution No.258 dated 14.9.1983 and to give promotion to the petitioner as per seniority, from 1.11.1987. In view of the affidavit-in-reply, wherein, inter alia, it is stated that the petitioner was not a meritorious candidate and, therefore, his juniors were promoted, I do not find any substance in this petition. It is also required to be noted that the petitioner has also retired by way of superannuation since long, as pointed out Mr.Acharya for the petitioner. The claim of the petitioner is also too stale. The petition is, therefore, dismissed. Rule is discharged with no order as to costs. 23rd July, 2002 ( P.B. Majmudar, J. ) *** (apj)
