JUDGMENT

¶56

The prayer in this writ petition is with regard to enhancement of retirement age of the teachers in private colleges affiliated to the Kerala University. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that the petitioners have got themselves impleaded in a case filed before the Honourable Supreme Court and most of the petitioners have already retired from service. In the above view of the matter, nothing survives in the writ petition. The writ petition is, therefore, closed without prejudice to the contentions raised.
