J U D G M E N T Petitioner approached this Court with certain grievance with regard to alteration of seniority. It is seen that he has already retired from service. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of making it clear that in case the petitioner has still any grievance left, he may approach the first respondent, in which case, appropriate action in accordance with law in the matter will be taken, with notice to the petitioner and affected parties if any, within another three months. In view of the judgment as above, the contentions are left open. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. smp KURIAN JOSEPH, J. W.P.(C) No. 30423 OF 2006 J U D G M E N T 24.09.2008
