SATYENDRA PD., COMPILER DISTRICT PLANNING OFFICE, JEHANABAD------------------RESPONDENT 2ND SET. ----------- 7 15.7.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The issue raised in the present writ application has lost its meaning now due to pendency of the writ application. Not only have the petitioners superannuated even the private - 2 - respondents or the adversaries of these petitioners have also gone home after retirement. The issue therefore is academic now which this Court is not willing to decide as no purpose will be served. This writ application is dismissed on this score alone. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
